New Year. New Logo.
New Website.
With the advent of a new year, the GDLA is pleased to introduce the new GDLA logo in conjunction with the launch of our new website.
The first GDLA logo - pictured top - was created by Past President Salty Forbes' wife Lee, an acclaimed portraiture artist; her design has served us well for almost a quarter-century.
Lee's efforts on behalf of the GDLA represents the "all hands on deck" mentality of our founding members, their office staff, and even spouses, who worked together to establish the foundation of success of which we continue to build.
