New Logo and Revamped Website
You will note that this newsletter introduces members to the new CBPA
logo, which was designed for the Association by Janice O’Driscoll of
Carient Communications. The new logo, which proudly displays our 20th
Anniversary banner, can also be seen on our revamped website
(www.cbpa.org). We encourage you to visit the new site with its fresh,
streamlined look, informative content and improved navigation. We thank
Terry Wessels, our Executive Director, and her “tech team” for their time
and effort in launching this site. With this new site comes a new email
address for contacting Terry: info@cbpa.org. Please update your address
book accordingly.
