I have been a part of BAAB since 2007, first as a volunteer reader for the recording of magazines, then as a board member, and now as its President. As a full-time professor at Eastern Florida State College and an adjunct professor at Florida Technology, I have been unable to do all the things I want for this wonderful organization. I have seen a lot of changes in my time here, and I find it is now time for me to hand over the reins to someone else. I will still be a part of this wonderful organization, but just not as its President.
