Dear Chapter Members,

On April 1, 2020, Donna Moser will assume the position of Chapter President. I am excited to work with Donna in her new capacity, and I am confident she will be a great leader for our chapter.

It has been a pleasure to serve as Chapter President (the second time around), and I’ve enjoyed getting to know some of you better. I’ll be taking on the Peer Connection program and continuing on the board for at least a year.

I encourage you to consider serving on the chapter board, or to participate on one of the chapter committees. We welcome the opportunity to engage our membership, and I have personally found my board membership to help me to grow professionally. Additionally, I have gained some incredible friends through my board membership.

The 2020-2021 Board of Directors was unanimously approved by membership vote, and the board will take office on April 1, 2020. Please feel free to reach out to any of our board members with questions, suggestions, and requests.

Your 2020-2021 Board of Directors are:

President: Donna Moser

I also wish to acknowledge the contributions of Board members who are resigning from the Board: Desiree Shestakofsky, Communication Director; Jennifer Blakely, Publications Director; Shannon Silveira, Membership Director; and Claudia Horner, Resource Director, who has been a long standing board participant for many years. Their dedication has made a long lasting impact on the director of our chapter.

Ed Cunningham
