Well Christmas is over and New Year’s is only days away. This tells me my time serving as president of HBAL is coming to an end very soon. I want to thank the current Board of Directors and Executive Committee for your support and the time you have spent either in the board room, serving on various committees or attending events. As I have said in the past, we have a very strong Association and that doesn’t happen without dedicated members and volunteers.
It also doesn’t happen without an amazing staff! As we all know, Michaela, Jennie and Laure have been staples in the office for many years. Having continuity in those roles plays a pivotal role in keeping HBAL not only relevant within the community but also looking for ways to strengthen it as well. Thank you to all three of you for your support over the past year. You make this role so much easier with all of your help and all you do throughout the year.
With that said, Jereme Montgomery will be stepping into these shoes very soon. I know he will carry on the great lineage of presidents we have been so fortunate to have.
For my last time, I leave you with some words of encouragement:
“For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.”
-Hebrews 3:4
