Hello Federation Family, Division Members, and Interested List Members!

We had a memorable convention and an exciting and energizing division
meeting.

I want to thank Merry for her excellent leadership and JD and David for
their many years of dedicated service and invaluable contributions to the
division.  I hope they will continue to be actively involved as the division
moves forward.  I was impressed by the scholarship winners and look forward
to the ideas and energy they will bring to the division.  I also want to
thank members for the  vote of confidence expressed toward me by  electing
me to the First Vice President board position.  I am deeply humbled.  We
have
much work ahead of us and challenging issues to address. Let's build the
Federation and division as we continue to take more  steps toward living the
lives we want.  It is an honor and privilege to serve.
