From: Bill Cullifer with WebProfessionals.org.
Re: Thank You and
Happy Holidays!
I’m taking the
opportunity of the holiday season to send you a note of heartfelt thanks from
me and the many volunteers and supporters of WebProfessionals.org. We are so
very grateful for your support. Together, we have helped make progress on
behalf of the Web professional community and, although much remains undone, we
can be proud of our collective efforts and successes.
As a result of
your support, we've raised over a million dollars in scholarships for college
bound students to study topics within the Web profession. We've also launched
the SchoolofWeb.org complete with training and educational resources (see http://schoolofweb.org) for practicing Web
professionals, students and teachers.
Our National Web
Design contest (see http://webdesigncontest.org)
continues to grow and, for the first time, we're participating in international
Web Design Contest events that will help us with advocating on behalf of Web
standards and the building of Web professional relationships around the globe.
This global initiative will ultimately assist us with efforts to create an
environment for the recognition and stature of the Web profession that we
deserve. We thank YOU for your continued support.
We need every one
of you to continue your support for the gains we have made. Our ongoing mission
is to expand the creation of new opportunities for Web professionals while
advocating and promoting legislation that brings the benefits of the Web
revolution to everyone.
The New Year 2013
is an exciting time to be a Web professional. For example, the improvements in
Web standards, the natural maturity of the Web, social media, the mobile Web
and the ever-evolving and improving "tools of our trade" are making
our lives so much easier. Yet at the same time, in many ways our Web
professional lives are so much more complex. Questions that I often ask Web
pros are "How do we continue to navigate the crossover requirements of skills"
and "How do we stay current with emerging technologies and trends?"
To that end, thanks to you our members and supporters, we've introduced our
"Web Professional Trends in 2013″ podcast series and, if you haven’t already done
so, we invite you to take a look and subscribe to the feed. http://webprofessionals.org/blog
The series will
explore trends and cutting-edge enabling technologies potentially affecting Web
professionals’ upcoming projects and next-generation technology. The series
will include topics ranging from Web Accessibility, Responsive Design,
Typograpghy, HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, Linked Data, Programming, JQuery, Search,
Web Standards, Web Marketing and Branding, Project Management, Web Security,
Legal Issues, Web Server Administration (including hardware, security,
network), Mobile Application Development and Social Media to name a few.

But, before 2012
comes to a close, we want to say thank you. Thank you for helping grow our
membership base and for the success of our practice improvement, leadership
development and Web professional education and advocacy initiatives. You are
wonderful supporters and we are so fortunate.
Best,
Bill Cullifer
