2008-12-31T19:31:00Z

IDSArm Members,

Please welcome Jason Belaire (jbelaire@slumberjack.com) as your new Chapter chair! I have met with Jason and look forward to continued growth and activity under his direction. It has been a pleasure serving you all, and I hope to see you at upcoming events in Colorado and Utah.

I will be attending planning meetings on Jan. 9-11 for the Western District conference, and IDSA board meetings on Jan. 29-31. Please let me know any thoughts and/or ideas you would like represented.

Jason and I will be meeting informally over the next couple of weeks to discuss Rocky Mountain Chapter plans. We welcome your input!

Thanks gang!

- Dave Klein, IDSA

IDSARM Vice Chair- Michael Horito michael@rocketshipdesign.com

Michael has been involved in the product development field professionally for over 10 years, during which time he has been a lead designer on over 100 products for companies like Buck Knives, Clear One Communications, Yamaha and Polaris. He is the founder of Rocketship, Inc., an industrial design and product development firm located in Provo, UT. The company was started in 2001 in a small shed on the side of his house, where the temperatures hit the 20’s in the winter, and boiling in the summer! Since then, the company has grown to a staff of 8 (and is no longer in the shed!), producing award winning products for a wide range of categories – from sporting equipment to consumer electronics to transportation. He is supported in his efforts by his wonderful wife, Kanani, and five wild children!

Welcome to the new face of IDSARM

Starting 2009 the Industrial Design Society of America's Rocky Mountain Chapter, will switch to an all new interactive blog site.

This will allow for event and news posting faster than ever, and truly put our members in contact with each other 24/7/365.

Some kinks still need to be sorted out but feel free to email the Webmaster Patrick Boyd if you have comments or difficulties getting your content added.

Stay Tuned and Best Regards, in the new year.
