President’s e-News - March 26, 2010

Michael Ty, CEC, AAC

Dear Chef:

The inaugural digital version of The National Culinary Review (NCR) launches with our April issue. This project has been in the planning stages for almost six months, and considerable research went into choosing the user-friendly format and versatile functionality.

The digital edition provides so much more than the printed version:

• Accessible on PC, MAC, iPhone
• No special software required, works from your browser
• User-friendly, vivid images, clear text
• Linked table of contents, articles, ads
• Save for offline reading
• High-quality printing
• Keyword search of current/archived issues
• Bookmark pages/articles
• Share via e-mail/blog/social-networking sites

Those of you who are receiving it digitally, I hope this method of communication meets your expectations. Those of you who were not sure what digital NCR would look like and how portable your magazine would be are invited to view it and see how easy it is to navigate, search, save and print. I think you will enjoy this format, and hope that you will join the majority of our membership receiving NCR digitally. Remember, you will receive digital NCR sooner and, most importantly, you are helping to save the environment as we decrease our printing/mailing carbon footprint.

Sincerely,
Michael Ty, CEC, AAC
ACF National President
