Greetings!
Transitions. We are constantly managing transitions in our personal and family lives, our places of volunteering and employment, in our schools, churches, communities and in our nation. Transitions happen all the time. Some come as surprises, while others are well-planned and carefully thought out.
A big transition is soon to occur for the ALCM Board of Directors. Having served as president for the past three years, I will move to the position of past-president for one year, beginning on September 1. Julie Grindle has spent the past two years as president-elect; she will move into the role of president on September 1. Next spring/summer the organization will elect a new president-elect, and the six-year cycle will continue. It's a good system, one that provides helpful continuity in leadership, providing ample time for both on-ramping and off-ramping.
As I finish my term of office as president, I would like to express heartfelt thanks for the opportunity to have served ALCM, working alongside such faithful and committed colleagues. It has been a joy and an honor.
God's blessings to each of you as we transition from summer into the fall program year.
Anne
