Happy New Year, Happy Chinese New Year and may the Year of the Tiger bring you happiness and prosperity.

So, let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Jenny Allen and this year I have been passed the president’s gavel. I have spent more than 20 years working in various roles in the Los Angeles print production scene, but have always lived in Orange County. A few years ago, I migrated south to work closer to home.

2009 was a challenging year and a year of change - what was once considered status quo is no longer held true. These challenges fueled change; and these changes challenged us to a new lifestyle. But, we all survived the decade.

This year, we have new faces on our Board of Directors. I am working with a group of talented professionals who are dedicated to our industry. We have new ideas and directions. With your help, I am hoping to reach out to other production professionals, as well as traffic professionals in Orange County to grow our club base.

Wishing you and your family a new year filled with happiness, health, peace and success.

Sincerely,

Jenny T. Allen

President
