November 2023 Chapter Chair Report   Updated: October 17 2023
Many thanks to Anne Paolano for organizing the 2023 Annual Dinner. It is always a huge effort, and this year was no exception. The Annual Dinner certainly would not have happened without Anne, and I am incredibly grateful for all her efforts. I hope that everyone who attended the dinner had a great time.

Thank you to the new and returning Executive Committee members. We have an excellent group of volunteers this year and I am looking forward to Jessica Krause and Laura Fiske joining us in 2024. The chapter is in good hands next year.

We are also hoping to find new volunteers for a few of the Committee Chair positions: Website, Membership, Young Members, and Newsletter. Please contact me or any of the other Executive Committee members if you might be interested in volunteering for one of those positions. The December Executive Committee meeting and annual potluck is also a good opportunity to learn more about the chapter and the volunteer positions, the food is always a nice benefit too.

I first became involved with the Chapter after attending the 2017 December meeting to learn about the Chapter and the vacant Young Member Committee Chair position. As is still true, everyone at the meeting was very enthusiastic, helpful and welcoming so the experience convinced me to volunteer for the vacant position. This will be my last Chapter Chair Report, at least until the 2050’s when I’m retired.

I want to thank the Executive Committee members for all their help over the last few years that I was the Chapter Chair. I will sign off with a special thanks to our Newsletter Editor, Jennifer Ferriss, and this edition’s special guest Editor, Mo Coutant, for all their help and patience throughout my tenure as Chapter Chair.
