[Sigia-l] Lack of Opportunities for IA

This is not true. While both JJG and I have served on the conference 
committee for the IA Summit, we have never "organized" the event. This 
year, the conference chair (and the one person you could label an 
"organizer") is Margaret Hanley, and the prior year it was Christina 
Wodtke. I don't know the role that Jesse played, but me, I just serve 
as an Advisory Crank on a mailing list.

2. To address the original questioner -- in the SF Bay Area, there seem 
to be many opportunities for IA and web-based interaction design. I 
must admit that I'm not as aware of the issues at the entry-level end, 
but I hear about many opportunities for senior and director-level 
information architecture and interaction design.
