the importance of doing what others think is impossible. His

> President’s Message
A little over six years ago, I was in Toronto for a
press check and later that day I made my way
down to the Design Exchange and found a seat in
the corner of the 1996 BGM which was taking place
there. I had been involved on the executive of the BC Chapter
for a few years and wanted to take advantage of my trip to
Toronto to see what it was like at a national level meeting. It was
the dawn of the accreditation era, the eve of the Typographic
Exposition, and the room was abuzz with excitement, fatigue,
apprehension and optimism. The intense discussions and
debates that followed that meeting and the conference were
addictive to say the least. Here was a group of like-minded
individuals from across the country who were all just as strongly
committed to their profession and the GDC as I was. Needless
to say, I was hooked and have been a junkie ever since.
I have always been an advocate of learning from those who have
been before us, either in design, or in the running of an association. Reading through old newsletters, past AGM minutes, and
most importantly, talking to previous executive members has
made me realize that the GDC is an incredibly active and forward
looking organization, and always has been. Our only problem
has been continuity of vision, and the usual lament of any
volunteer-run association — lack of manpower and resources.

Invoices for 2003 Membership Dues will go out in December and
will include information on the new national scholarship
program and a survey to assist in prioritizing future initiatives.
2. Increase Membership
> A variety of strategies were discussed over the year, most
focussed on harmonizing processes and materials between
Chapters, as well as getting more information up on the website.
This will drive the content for new student, business and designer oriented materials and membership certificates and cards.
> A long overdue membership drive will take place in 2002/03,
implemented by the Chapters but assisted by the National
Membership Chair.
My goal over the next two years is to continue to build on the
programming that has been implemented or initiated over the
past few years. And re-initiate some ideas from even further
back. We have a good mix of youthful enthusiasm, and learned
sages on the National Executive this year. It’s inspiring to look
at what we’ve accomplished with so little except our dedication
and perseverance. So I’d like to give you a taste of what your
association has done for you lately...
3. Sharing Resources
This is an important aspect of how the GDC works whereby
Chapters and Member Associations take on projects that will
have national significance and impact, and there were a number
of successes this year.

We felt it was a necessary to send Laurie to the Congress in
South Africa in September 2001 to maintain our presence, and to
see what other benefits the GDC could realize from being part
of Icograda. Laurie reported on South Africa in the last issue of
gdc.net and reports later in this issue about the Regional
Meeting which took place subsequently in Vancouver this past
March, and the adjoining Environs conference which featured
presentations by many of the Icograda Board members.

tool for promoting professionalism. Ontario has shown that
through hard work and perseverance it can become a reality, and
they are now starting to realize some of the benefits. The
Manitoba Chapter has been successfully lobbying to have a
similar bill put before their provincial legislature. Due to some
disagreements between the Manitoba Accreditation Committee
and the Examination Board for Registered Graphic Designers
(EBRGD) in Ontario, Manitoba decided to put aspects of their
pursuit on hold until they can be sure that the exam is appropriate for designers outside of Ontario and across Canada. They
do not need the exam to get the legislation, but they prefer to
know now, not later, what is required to facilitate educational
outcomes to ensure that there will be qualified graduates able to
eventually write the exam to become an “RGD.” There are also
concerns with the voting structure of the EBRGD so National

The following three points are RGD Ontario’s plan for moving

part of the capital required by those provinces that are going
to forge ahead with accreditation.
3. The National Accreditation Committee, as its first task together with the GDC and RGD Ontario, will develop a short-term
(3–5 years) and long-term (10 years plus) national accreditation
implementation plan.
There is so much to do, much of which has been discussed
for years. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel, we just need to

The IRM meeting gave all the participants an opportunity to

on a Design Camp in Western Canada to fashion shows featuring paper dresses, the concepts were fresh and progressive.

National Salary Survey In 2001 RGD Ontario (along with other

The results were published in a pdf, downloadable at
www.rgdontario.com, and as a 32-page booklet, published with
the support of Quebecor World and Potlatch Paper. Over 7,000 of
these booklets, available for free from RGD Ontario have already
been distributed.

within the Canadian design industry. Since its founding in 1956, the
GDC has consistently advocated excellence in graphic design through
sponsorship of regional and national design shows, professional
development seminars, educational initiatives, production of designrelated publications, and continued lobbying with the federal government
regarding such issues as taxation, education, and design advocacy.
These activities are of significant importance not only to practitioners,
educators and design managers, but increasingly to Canadian business
and industry leaders who are recognizing the value of graphic design
in the marketing of products and services in a global economy.
The GDC welcomes the membership and active participation of designers,
design educators, students, associates, and sponsors who share our
concerns and commitment to graphic design as a cultural and economic
force in Canada.
