We congratulate Russ Davis and Doug Ingram elected to NFBF board of
directors during our 2020 state convention. We welcome the new ideas and
leadership as we work together to build the federation.
We thank Rafael Fernandez for his years of service on the affiliate board.
We still welcome your leadership in technology and the ways you jump in and
help.
You have grown as a leader from being in FABS and especially after
attending leadership seminar.
Every member is needed. We are stronger together by working together. We
are elected to serve our members.
Together we will share our love, hope, and strength!
