[VABS] Reminders for VABS Members

[Naim Abu-ElHawa]

Hello, All:

I highly encourage all of us younger individuals to seriously pursue the available VABS BOARD INTERNSHIPS. 
This is a golden opportunity to become active and well-informed, as well as a great chance to later uptake a permanent position on the   VABS BOARD.

Please take advantage of this opportunity.

Thank you all.

Sincerely,





Naim Muawia Abu-El Hawa
