Notes from the President

A new President has been elected! Stephanie Stockman will take the reins and I will cycle into the role of Pasto President. It has been a wonderful 10 years of serving on the VOWLS board. Thank you to Beatrix, and the Executive Board for the lovely gifts and tributes during the Annual Meeting 3/5/21. New Regional Reps will be selected shortly by the new President. Farewell to Past President Beatrix Preusse-Burr and Secretary Cammie Williams. Welcome to Stephanie and Secretary Victoria Basile. ~Jen Carson
