Her leadership and dedication have been greatly appreciated. Following last night\u2019s chapter meeting and elections, we now have an updated officer slate. I am honored to serve as President, with Liz Lesperance continuing her leadership as Vice President. Colin Gallagher will continue in his role as Secretary, and Allen Larkin will continue as Treasurer. We also welcome Elizabeth Ann Johnson into her new role as Chapter Liaison to the Affiliate Board. I look forward to working with this team as we continue moving the chapter forward together.</span></p><div><span style="font-kerning:none"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
