==Article Transcript==
Greetings fellow NCNers! Happy 2009!! It’s time once again to tell you all about what’s happening with
the NCN. And for 2009, there is a LOT that is going on. So let me take a few minutes of your time to
review what took place in 2008 and set the stage for 2009.

First off, the 17th Annual NCN Convention in Raleigh, NC was a huge success! We had over 200
attendees with 180 competing artists from all over the world on hand. The seminars were outstanding.
Ismael Roldan was a wonderful guest of honor to have with us all week long. Everyone enjoyed his
presentation and had fun with him and his girlfriend, Michelle, while everyone generated artwork all
week. This year, the competition was fierce. As you will see in this issue, the artwork was off the charts.
Hosting the convention is a ton of work, but the board did an outstanding job of making sure everything
went well and kept all the attendees happy. I would also like to thank JoAnn Strelzoff who was such a
huge help during the convention. She is such a pro when it comes to making the show run smoothly. In
fact, the awards went so smoothly that I forgot to thank her on stage, so this shout-out goes to her: “Way
to go, Duchess of the NCN!”.

During the Convention, we had our annual business meeting which lasted less than an hour. It was the
quickest annual meeting I have ever seen. During the meeting, we discussed and approved our first
rate increase in over four years. Starting in 2009, all dues will increase by only $5 annually. We also
reviewed a new version of our Constitution which includes our new name. There are still some legal
issues to iron out but we will be changing our association name from the National Caricaturist Network
to the International Society of Caricature Artists (ISCA). Expect to see our new name and logo in use by
the time we arrive at the next convention in Sandusky, OH in November of this year.

Speaking of the next convention, in case you didn’t hear, it will take place at the Kalahari Resort in
Sandusky, OH from November 2nd to the 7th, 2009. This is the very first time our annual convention
will be held in the midwest—and what a place to have it! The Kalahari Resort & Conference Center has
it all: the biggest indoor waterpark in the U.S., state-of-the-art meeting facilities, spacious guest rooms
with mini-fridges, microwave ovens and coffee-makers in every room and free internet! If that isn’t
enough to get you to come, wait until you hear who our guest of honor will be. More on that later this
year. Meanwhile, if there ever was a year that you wanted to bring your family along to the convention,
2009 will be the one. The waterpark is included with every room for only $99 per night!

Finally, I would like to say how much I have enjoyed serving the NCN as your president this past
year and I look forward to continue being your president for 2009 as well. It can be hard work at
times but the burden is very light when you have a great board working with you all the way. Thanks
to Glenn Ferguson for all his tireless effort and energy. I am happy that he will be continuing as our
vice president. Thanks to Scott Hamilton for stepping up to become our new Treasurer. Scott never
takes himself too seriously but is always a professional when it comes to watching our finances. And
finally, thank you Lorin Bernsen for stepping up to become our new NCN Secretary. Lorin was a big
help all week during the convention even before he officially took the post. And once again, thanks
to our manager, Tracey Iverson for all you do to make sure our members are happy. There is a lot to
accomplish in 2009 but with all your support along with our members, I know we will do great things
together! Ok, enjoy the magazine!

Robert Bauer 
President of the International 
Society of Caricature Artists 
2009
