We had a tremendous slate of candidates this year, each one bringing their own expertise and passion to the table. I know it was not an easy decision with such strong candidates. A big thank you to those who ran for a seat but were not elected.

We are happy to welcome new members to the board and congratulate those who retained their seats.
