Newsletter | December 2025


A Note from the Exec Director:

With so many great events in November, my first month at the EACC has been all things: busy, fun, and inspiring. I invite you to keep the ball rolling, and join me for our final Stammtisch of the year at March First Brewing this Thursday, December 4th!

As we continue planning for 2026, I’ll ask for your help in two ways: first, please take our advocacy survey -- your input will help us focus our efforts where they matter most (it takes only 3-5 minutes of your time); and second, I’d love to talk with you directly about how we can better serve you and elevate your engagement with the EACC. Please scheduled some time with me in the coming weeks - I would love to hear from you.


Wishing each of you peace and joy throughout this holiday season,


Stacy Hanna
