Potomac: New and departing officers

BC
Beth Curren
Wed, Nov 17, 2021 1:09 AM

Hello all;

Potomac has held our election, and welcomes Shannon Kerner as Chair, and
Charlotte Mauler Hayes as Vice Chair. Nora Lockshin and Paige Billin-Frye
continue in Secretary and Treasurer respectively, having taken on those
roles as needed to fill large shoes.

We received thoughtful and earnest resignations from our long-serving
departing officers, Beth Curren, Chair, who took over for Vicky Lee when
she moved to St. Louis, and contributed many wonderful ideas, leadership,
thoughtful and caring guidance - and oodles of her amazing vegetable soup
and hospitality through these past challenging years. Our Tawn O'Connor,
fearless past Secretary and kind, pensive editor of our biannual
newsletter, will produce one more of the latter, and offer guidance to the
next person who we hope will be able to step forward to solicit interviews,
event and show reviews, etc.

Both will continue as members and in a "transition team" advisory capacity,
but won't have to attend as many meetings!

Nora Lockshin, on behalf of Potomac
