Farwell Presidents Update, Address Reminder, Welcome New Corporate Members!
‌
Update from President Champion
“But don’t plant your flowers just yet. That last cold snap before Easter is still coming.” I’m not looking for a prophet star for this prediction from last month’s article, but an early spring always fools us! With single digits in the Midwest, teens up the Eastern Seaboard, 20’s in the Deep South, and 30’s out West, Spring doesn’t seem to be in a big hurry. Weather continues to be a big story across the country. Keep our friends in California in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to experience and recover from torrential rainfall.

Thank you to all our members who expressed interest in serving on NACE Committees by completing the Committee Interest survey last month. Committee rosters are being compiled as we speak and you should hear from committee Chairs soon as to which committee(s) you be assigned to serve.
