FADA MEMBER BLAST | May 2020

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear FADA Members,

Kindly let me know that you are doing well and staying safe. Amy, Ariana and I are fine and thinking of you. It is imperative for FADA to be relevant, resilient and innovative into the future.

In our March BLAST, after the pandemic triggered a shutdown, we proposed three action items to enhance and lift the mood:

MUSIC on FADA.org

VIEWING ROOMS for showcasing Member Gallery inventory on FADA.org

ZOOM Calls

We have successfully launched MUSIC and developed three ROOM VIEW formats. See operational details here and on Member Resources.

A ZOOM General Membership Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 28, at 12PM PT / 3PM ET. Look out for Agenda and Program and RSVP via dedicated email - Subject line: FADA Member Gallery Virtual Call by Zoom. Please respond to that email to receive the Zoom Link. A reminder will be sent next week.

Enjoy the holiday weekend. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Looking forward with much enthusiasm to seeing you all next Thursday and having a conversation with positive ideas and inspiring peer-to-peer learning.

Sincerely,

Jane
