All the work we’ve accomplished over the past year will be presented at our Annual Meeting on March 22, 2023 at The Foundation.

At this meeting, we will announce the new additions to our Board of Directors. I want to thank the current Board, Executive Committee and Advisory Council for all their support and guidance this past year. Let’s keep doing well by doing good.
