Thank you Ann! My goodness.
My time as Executive Director has been amazing, and wonderful, and - really
hard work!
And any success has been in large part to the tremendous contributions of
our volunteers, such as you Ann!
Everyone wants to know of me, "what's next?"
Good question, that I can't answer. I'm taking the summer off, so stay
tuned!
I'm not going away however, just evolving. and hope to see many of you at
our next Coho/US conference if not before!
Alice Alexander, Coho/US Executive Director (until 6/30/17).
