As a member of various professional associations and though my various roles, I’ve met many intelligent, creative, and overall fantastic people from all over the world. Our ability to communicate on a variety of levels is what makes this world tick. Decision making is never a one-way street. Collaborating in workshops and brainstorming sessions with fruitful and creative input from various sides is essential for the success of a project.
