    Another exciting area we are exploring is offering satellite programming and/or mirror Lunch & Learn events out of Big Bend Community College and Ellensburg locations to include out of town membership in our Lunch & Learn programs.  More information to follow on this.

     

    I am honored to be working with such an incredible Board and we are very excited about what we are planning to bring to you this year.  A special thank you to members who responded to our recent Programs Survey to help guide program planning for this year. 

     

    If you are interested in serving on the Board or a committee now or in 2018, please touch base with me and we can discuss options.  Also, feel free to send me an email or find me or any Board member at events and ask about responsibilities and time commitments (very manageable even within our busy lives).  We are a dedicated group with great respect for our membership and we are always looking for members interested in the opportunity to positively influence a flourishing organization and make a mark to help shape our future success.  The opportunities are endless for career development, fun, networking, colleague support and fulfillment in volunteerism.

     

    Best wishes,
