In the last issue of Ranger I thanked the outgoing members of the board of directors for their hard work and dedication to the organization. Now I would like to welcome the new members of the board and thank them for stepping forward to take on responsibilities for the benefit of the membership of ANPR.

Liz Roberts has taken on the task of treasurer, the position responsible for overseeing the organization’s finances.

As board member for education and training, Todd Stoeberl is handling the coordination of an important service for our members.

Ken Mabery is taking on the task of facilitating the flow of information throughout the organization as the member for internal communications.

Stacy Allen, as the member for strategic planning, has become an important part of the organization’s planning team.

Welcome and thank you for taking on the business of ANPR. I would also like to remind everyone that this November we will ask members to step forward to run for other positions on the ANPR Board of Directors. The positions up for election will be president, membership services and fund raising activities.

These positions are key in shaping the future of the organization. I urge all members to give serious consideration to stepping forward to take on these responsibilities.
