I have learned a lot from the experience and appreciate the opportunity to be involved in decisions that have shaped our affiliate as we continue to live the lives we want. At this time, I'm not able to continue my position when my board member spot comes up for re-election at our state convention in March. I know whoever takes my place will do a wonderful job and continue the great work our affiliate has accomplished. My reasons for stepping back at this time are multifaceted but I can truly say that the reason this decision has been so difficult is because I will miss working closely with you all. I would like to especially thank our wonderful state president Shara Winton for constantly supporting us all with tremendous love and grace. We are fortunate to have such a remarkable leader at the helm of our organization and I know our affiliate will continue to prosper under her leadership..<br><br>I hope you and your families have a great Thanksgiving!<br><br>Best Regards,<br>Liz Lesperance<br></div>
