CISV IN MOTION UPDATE:

The Pittsburgh chapter was represented well at this year's national conference, CISV In Motion (CIM). Board members Amy Raslevich, Nonie Heystek and Gina Wynn attended several workshops, networked with CISV members from all over the United States, and came home with great programs for the coming year! 

Nancy Golio, Charlie Wolfson, Drew Klein, Max Rogow and Dighan Kelly represented our JB at the National Junior Branch Meeting (NJBM). We are very proud to have had such a great group representing CISV Pittsburgh and grateful for those who put their best efforts into running for national/regional positions. 

Our sincerest congratulations to Charlie Wolfson for his election to the National Youth Committee (NYC), and to Max Rogow for being elected to represent the East Mid-West Region on the National Junior Board of Trustees (NJBoT).
