New Employee!

Please help us congratulate Corrie Habib who has been selected as SEFAA's first employee! Our three-person Interview Committee of Linda DeMars, Linda Fetter, and Eli Pelizza (all former SEFAA Board members) selected Corrie from a field of four terrific candidates, noting that her previous experience running a similarly sized nonprofit would greatly benefit SEFAA. Corrie will transition from volunteer Board member to paid staff member on July 1st, kickstarting a new and exciting chapter for SEFAA!
