Message from the President

On behalf of your Chapter’s Board, I would like to welcome you to a new ASSE year. I am excited about serving a second year as your President and working with members of last year’s Board. The Board members are equally excited about this year and are committed to serving you.

Our goal this year is to increase members’ participation through a diverse calendar of activities, networking and enhanced services. I hope you will become involved and offer ways to improve our Chapter. With your help and involvement, I am confident that this will be our best year yet.
