The opportunity to work with other leaders in the Section’s Executive Committee allows one to be on the cutting edge of membership concerns and to be part of the decision-making process on the regional level, driving the strategic goals or the organization. It is an exciting time to join the leadership of the Section and help us move into our ambitious future.

Your assistance in identifying outstanding professional and community leaders willing to serve our Section is essential for the productive operation of the Section.
