The American Creativity Association California Chapter:

For more than a decade, the American Creativity Association has been a primary resource for learning and applying creativity, innovation, problem-solving, and ideation theory, tools, and techniques. We offer a global network of creative professionals in disciplines ranging from business and industry to education and the arts. Our collective expertise provides a wide range of problem-solving methods, from simple idea-capture techniques to complex problem-solving methodologies. Above all, ACA members enjoy and benefit from personal interaction with their colleagues, top experts in the fields of creativity and innovation worldwide.

This is the group for the new California Chapter of the ACA, formed following the 2006 Creativity @ Work Conference held in Austin, Texas, from March 21-25, 2006. See the organization's main web site at: http://amcreativityassoc.org/index.htm

Please note that although you do not need to be a member of the American Creativity Association to participate in this Yahoo group, you are encouraged to join the organization, and in any case, you will be expected to contribute to the discussion about planning the ACA California Chapter activities. Therefore, your identity cannot be totally anonymous to the other members of the Yahoo group. The moderators need to know who you are and what your interests are regarding creativity in order to confirm your membership to this group.

We may develop a California Chapter web site eventually, so stay tuned here for further information. At this time, membership to this Yahoo group must be approved by moderators, but we encourage people who are already members of ACA, or who are interested in creating and planning the California Chapter of The American Creativity Association, to join this group. Please contact us if you want more information about who we are or what we do. We welcome your creativity and innovative thinking!
