  Technologies, Seattle;

• Vice President/Oregon Eliza Selig, communications manager, The Bottomline, Hospital Financial & Technical Professionals, Portland; and

“The Pacific Northwest has a diverse publishing industry, both geographically and in terms of the focus of the publications,” says Payne. “With our chapter of the ASBPE, we’re hoping to form a much tighter community to share ideas and promote the region as a vital publishing center.”

The chapter’s first meeting will be in the latter half of the first quarter. Topic and location will be announced later.
