That's a great question Launa. Here I was, staring at a blank page (the story of my life) wondering what to share with the good people of IFVP. But since you mentioned it, why not give it a go…shall we? First, we can acknowledge the diversity that already exists within IFVP. Our membership stretches all over the globe with over 400 visual practitioners in over 30 countries. Wow! Members have come from all kinds of occupational backgrounds from bartending to stock trading.

On June 10, the IFVP and the visual practice community lost a brilliant, skilled and beloved member, Roberta Faulhaber. Brandy Agerbeck made the announcement via a Facebook post to the Graphic Facilitation group page:

For those of us who have not had the pleasure or privilege of knowing Roberta the bio from the WHO WE ARE page of her website www.vizmatters.com reads as follows:

"I design with people not pixels...so I never expected to win. It was a bit of a creative exercise.” Ben’s voice swelled with surprise. He wasn’t going to submit an entry, until a fellow IFVP member encouraged him to. "IFVP is a community and I wanted to try to invoke community in the design." A blog post on his website details how the design came about–and features mock ups of the designs in use. "It's all ways good to show and not just tell," Ben said.
