This year's board members are: president Kelly Coleman, Vice President, Stephanie Waggle, Treasurer Chris Turner, Secretary Kayde Rieken, Board Member Charlie Sulzman. We are planning a student seminar in the spring and are just finishing up a NABS snack fundraiser that was started at our state convention. We have many other ideas of things we would like to do throughout this year. If you have any ideas, questions, concerns please feel free to email me. Thank you all for your time.
