The Pittsburgh IGDA monthly First Thursday social is this thursday! This week there will be a special slant towards preparation for GDC. If you're attending GDC for the first time, or you want to make connections with other Pittsburgh industry folks who will be attending the conference, or you're a GDC pro and are willing to share some tips (or you just want to hang out : ), then make your way to The Library in South Side this Thursday at 6:30pm. (2nd Floor, look for someone in a funny hat.)

PS- Please bring cash for your drinks and food as it is single check. Expect 20% gratuity charge.

Chapter Chartering & Elections
2009 was a great year of growth for Pittsburgh IGDA. 2010  is bringing some exciting changes. The IGDA has developed a chartering process for chapters so that we can be recognized by the government, get a chapter bank account, and generally operate more like an official organization. PIGDA intends to undergo this chartering process this spring. As a precursor to this, we will also be holding our first ever chapter elections- there are 4 default elected positions on the board- Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, & Treasurer. Please start thinking about if you'd be interested in running for a board position. More details on the process & responsibilities will be forthcoming!
