Come To Think of It, I've Never Seen Her Birth Certificate...

I'VE SERVED for two years on the Writers Guild of Canada National Council, and was recently acclaimed to a second term.  Today the new executive convened for the first time with an important task: to select a new President to help guide the organization through the next two years, and advise the hardworking Executive Director, Maureen Parker, and her tireless staff.

I'm very pleased to say that by unanimous consent we selected somebody with her eye planted firmly on the next frontier of opportunity for writers: the digital realm.

Many of you will already know Jill Golick from her blogging & her extensive work in new media creation.  There are great challenges ahead, and Jill's well poised to help us meet them.

Over at her place, you can read her first thoughts on the challenges ahead directly.

It's a new day.
