Business Meeting
At our business meeting we had to say good bye to Bill Hudson, our out going president. Bill has served two-two year terms and as outlined in the bylaws is no longer allowed to serve.
We also have to say good bye to Nan Rodgers. Nan is in the middle of her term as vice president but has joined the state licensure board as the representative for teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing. With this commitment she is not able to give the time to PESDHH that is necessary. She has promised to stay involved and help the new officers.
WELCOME in their place:
Mary Ann Stefko as our new president.
Kristen Bowie as our new vice president.
We also have a new recording secretary: Lisa Lasko
