We greatly appreciate all that she has done for the club and she will be greatly missed. Due to Alison's departure, the board was charged with filling some vacant positions. </div><div style="font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px">Due to Alison's departure, I have assumed the position of President and I am excited about the opportunity to serve the club in this capacity. Per the club bylaws, vacant positions must be filled by board appointment within 30 days. We have decided to appoint a current board member and member at large to the positions of Vice President and Event Coordinator. </div><div style="font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px">Joel English, former Event Coordinator, has been appointed as Vice President.
