During the next three years as a voting member of
the VTS Board of Governors, I would like to help VTS improve and
extend its service to the membership as much as possible, and I look
forward to hear from you on any aspect of membership that you would
like to raise your voice for any change or improvement. I hope I can
be your voice in the Board for the next three years. |
