   For whatever it's worth to you, here's my two cents worth...

   ADEPT =the Association for the Development of Electronic Publishing Technique
   Adept is a Division of NCGA =the National Computer Graphics Associtaion. 

   ADEPT a Division of NCGA 
   2722 Merrilee Drive, Suite 200
   Fairfax, VA 22031-4499
   (703) 698-9600
   (800) ADEPT 11
   (800) 775-6242 BBS
   (703) 560-2752 FAX

   I might suggest you should also consider contacting NADTP... 

   NADTP
   The National Association 
   of Desktop Publishers
   462 Old Boston St.
   Topsfield, MA 01983
   (508) 887-7900
   (508) 887-6117

   What's in it for me? Nothing. I've been a member of NADTP since '87 and
ADEPT since 1990. With 8 years "DTP" experience, I might otherwise be
interested myself, but I won't relocate. But I wish you all the best in
your search.

   Kudos also to those who suggested local user groups, design school grads etc.

   Happy hunting!
