>>Dear Listers,
>>
>>I am most happy to announce that at this year's Annual Meeting in
>>Dallas this past Monday, the National Organization of Parents of
>>Blind Children elected a new president and board.
>>
>>As many of you know, I stepped into the position of NOPBC president
>>under unusual circumstances a little over a year ago. I have had a
>>wonderful experience being president and hope that I have made a
>>contribution to the organization. But I never intended to run for
>>this office and in fact, though I was very honored, I turned down
>>the offer to do just that two years ago, when Barbara Cheadle
>>announced that she would not run again. I believe that this
>>organization that I love so much will be better served by having a
>>president whose child is younger and who is closely connected to the
>>education system. After all, my daughter is 26 now and I haven't
>>had a direct connection with the schools for five years. In
>>addition, I was very happy serving as a support to Barbara Cheadle
>>for all those years and I will be extremely content to return to a
>>position of support for our new president.
>>
>>And so, it is with great excitement and pleasure that I announce
>>that our new president is Laura Weber of Texas. Laura is the very
>>capable founder and past president of the TX POBC, a very lively and
>>dynamic chapter. She is the mom of Lindsay Adair who just turned
>>eight years old and will be entering second grade in the fall at her
>>local elementary school. Laura, her husband John, and Lindsay live
>>in Houston.
>>
>>Laura had a seventeen-year career as a biomedical engineer at NASA's
>>Johnson Space Center. Recently, she shifted gears and is now in the
>>last class of a master's program in special education. Student
>>teaching comes next in the fall. Once she is certified in special
>>education, Laura plans to pursue certification as a teacher of blind
>>students. Laura has also successfully completed all the required
>>coursework for certification as a literary braille transcriber and
>>is working on completing her manuscript. It will be a wonderful
>>thing to have a person like Laura as a professional in the blindness field.
>>
>>I would also like to announce our newly elected board:
>>
>>1st Vice President: Stephanie Kieszak-Holloway (GA)
>>2nd Vice President: Carlton Walker (PA)
>>Secretary: Andrea Beasley (WI)
>>Treasurer: Pat Renfranz (UT)
>>
>>Board Members:
>>Jean Bening (MN)
>>Jim Beyer (MT)
>>Wingfield Bouchard (MS)
>>Carol Castellano (NJ)
>>Lety Castillo (TX)
>>Denise Colton (UT)
>>Dave Hammell (IA)
>>Zina Lewis (VA)
>>Barbara Mathews (CA)
>>Sally Thomas (TX)
>>
>>I believe that our organization is in very, very capable hands and I
>>hope you will join with me in enthusiastically welcoming and
>>supporting our new president and board.
>>
>>All the best,
