Re-Elected As Your President
Hello, members. It is with extreme pride and gratitude that I write this article. In October, I was up for re-election for the position as your president. This process is open to anyone serving on the Board of Directors for a minimum of two years. I am happy to report that I was the only person to put in for the position of LVPPA president.
