At the January 2011 meeting of MCAI’s LA/OC Chapter three members were singled out for special recognition with a “Shining Star Award” from the Chapter.
On behalf of the chapter’s Board, president Mark Alexander offered kudos and compliments to Eva Crabbs, (L) John Coleman 3rd from left) and Grace McKay (2nd from left) for their service to the organization over the past year.
Alexander pointed out that Crabbs, a current member of the Chapter’s Board of Directors, seems like the first to volunteer for a long list of duties including organizing events and food for meetings. Coleman notably helped organize the MediaProCamp events and with his company, Twin Oaks Communications, www.twinoaks.tv edits the monthly newsletter. As one of the chapter’s earliest members, Grace McKay of Electric Pictures earned more than her share of “Shining Star Awards” over the years. This one was to thank her for her most recent service as webmaster and her unofficial role as devil’s advocate on just about every subject before the board.
The Shining Star Award is one of the top methods of recognition given to members of Media Communication Association-international for service to the organization and the professional community.
For the second year, the Panasonic Solutions Company is making these iconic events possible. Starting on March 24th with the first event in San Diego, Panasonic is supporting media professionals with its involvement in MCA-I’s MediaProCamp. The popularity of the event has grown the series to a total of six this year.
Previously, Panasonic has given attendees sneak previews of new products such as the groundbreaking AG-3DP1, a 3D integrated twin-lens P2 HD shoulder-mount camcorder, and the Panasonic AG-AF100 featuring a large 4/3-inch, 16:9 MOS imager with an imaging area just slightly smaller than 35mm cinema film

This year, MediaProCamp Events will be held in San Diego, Orange County, St Louis, Atlanta, Detroit, and Central Carolina, reaching ever more media pros. For more on MCA-i's MediaProCamp go to the pulldodwn menue on the front page of our Chapters website, www.mcai-oc.org
