    Congrats to @JBatDavidLawrence and @ksammut! Not sure if any of the other elected officials are on here. I was not able to vote this year as I just joined several months ago, but looking forward to seeing some fresh thinking for the organization!

    Thanks Dan!
    As a longtime member of the ANA and someone who benefitted from many of their programs growing up, I’m looking forward to this challenge.

    While it will be another month before we are very involved, I hope to hear from any of you who want to email me about their suggestions for the organization.
