Many thanks to Stephanie Dudley, Executive Director, Lois Brown, Member Services Coordinator, and Denetra Gary, Administrative Assistant, of the PAA Office for successful management of the election details.

Congratulations to the new PAA officers, board and committee members, and a tremendous thank you to all candidates who were willing to participate in this election.
