As your Atlanta Chapter board, we are constantly looking for new ways to increase  the interaction and engagement between chapter members. Being that our chapter is spread across five states, we’re aware that several image consultants do not have the pleasure of attending meetings in Atlanta. We hope to implement several new initiatives this year that will take our chapter more virtual to foster participation from everyone – especially those outside the Atlanta area.

One of the ways we’d like to encourage more interaction between members is through Facebook. We’ve started an AICI Atlanta Chapter Facebook group where you can post conference and meeting photos, keep up to date on chapter events and start discussions with your peers. Use it to meet your chapter colleagues and share advice and insight into the image consulting industry.

Check out the group here and check back frequently as new things are posted regularly.

Let me know if you have any questions and we look forward to interacting with you on Facebook!

Cheers,

Shauna M. Heathman
President, AICI Atlanta Chapter

AICI Atlanta Chapter President

Dear Colleagues,

It is a tremendous honor to take over as AICI Atlanta Chapter President for the 2010-2011 term. I’m extremely fortunate to be a part of an organization that truly supports and encourages development between members.

Sarah Hathorn (the immediate past president) and previous leaders have done a phenomenal job at making this chapter what it is today. My goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible so I’m able to continue where they left off, pushing forward to an even brighter future and a growing membership.

No other organization in the world supports the image consulting career field like AICI and to be able to work together within our Atlanta Chapter is an added bonus of membership. It is imperative that we come together as a team of professionals–with unique backgrounds, talents and skills–to support and learn from one another.

The role of an image consultant goes far beyond putting the right clothes on an individual, defining color palettes and teaching proper etiquette. We know the depth of our work and it is our job as a chapter and AICI member to make sure the rest of the world knows it too. People look to us–AICI–when they need information on one of the faster growing career fields. As an AICI certified image consultant, it is my duty to represent the organization in a way that reflects credibility, professionalism and camaraderie. I hope you share this sense of advocacy as well.

There are incredible opportunities yet to be discovered within AICI to really utilize the value of membership. As a chapter, let’s uncover this added value and set new standards for the image consulting career field.

I look forward to learning and growing from you, AICI Atlanta Chapter, and I hope you’ll continue to play a supportive role in AICI as a whole.

Sincerely,

Shauna M. Heathman, AICI FLC
