Message From The NAME President
July 18, 2010
In an effort to keep everyone updated on recent changes to the Board;
I wanted to let you know that Teresa Pastore resigned her position as President-Elect in order to spend more time with her immediate and extended family. The good news, for NAME, is that she has graciously consented to continue with her Conference Committee work.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Teresa for her long-time service as committee chair, board member, officer and friend. Her hard work and perseverance has been an invaluable asset to us these many years. Teresa, NAME could not have provided so many successful and meaningful conferences without you! And we are so thankful you will remain with NAME and continue to grace our endeavors with your many talents.
At this time I would also like to introduce Denise Achin as our newly appointed President-Elect who will serve out the remainder of Teresa's term and sit for election as President at September's Conference. Denise was our Region I Board Representative and it took a great deal of fortitude for Denise to step up and into Teresa's shoes at this point in time and for that we are truly grateful. Denise has been an exemplary board and committee member, displaying an extraordinary work ethic and dedication to each task at hand and she will also be a tremendous asset to our organization.
Please join me in wishing Teresa well as she moves into Conference 2011 planning mode and welcoming Denise as President-Elect of NAME!
Looking forward to seeing you at the conference!
