We wish Tina all the best in her endeavors and look forward to continuing to create incredible synergy within and among the affiliate divisions of the National Association of Guide dog Users. There is a great deal of work to be done on behalf of guide dog users in California and we look forward to Tina’s leadership and advocacy in California and across the United States.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"> The board of directors has unanimously approved and appointed Aleeha Dudley to fulfill the term of office vacated by Tina’s resignation. Aleeha is an active volunteer for the NAGDU Information and Advocacy Hotline. <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Aleeha is a 21-year-old student currently attending training at the Louisiana Center for the Blind. She was born in a small town in rural Ohio and was raised by a family who did not know the Federation way. She has been blind since birth and, since joining the Federation in 2011, has been an active member in the Movement. She has served as vice president of the Ohio Association of Guide Dog Users, as well as president and vice president of the Ohio Association of Blind Students. She plans to attend college in the spring of 2016, studying zoology with plans to become a veterinarian. We look forward to Aleeha’s energetic leadership on the board of directors of the National Association of Guide dog Users.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> Jessica Snyder has agreed to serve on NAGDU’s Social networking Committee.
