The April Membership Meeting will take place on April 8 at Hangar 15, Harvey Airfield in Snohomish. Our social time with snacks starts at 6:00 PM, and the meeting starts at 6:30 PM, with our speaker beginning around 7:00 PM. Thank you to Mike & Michelle O’Grady for bringing the snacks!

Our speaker this month is David Voetmann, Director of The Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Edmonds College where ordinary people with extraordinary ideas gain access to an 11,000sf sandbox with the tools, training, and community to turn thoughts into things.

Growing up deep in the bush country of Africa ignited a creative instinct in David. He followed that creative drive, earning a BFA in Industrial Design at the University of Washington and, for the last decade, has explored the transformation of our economy as new technologies democratize product development and small scale manufacturing. Before his current role as Director of the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, David spent 11 years in Branding and Marketing for Kodiak Aircraft.
