Message from Dawn:

On a personal note, after much thought and reflection, I have made the difficult decision to step down from my role as Director of Golf Events. My workload has increased significantly, and I’m no longer able to give this position the time and attention it truly deserves.

Please know that my commitment to this chapter and this organization remains strong. I have genuinely enjoyed serving in this role—it pushed me outside my comfort zone and gave me the opportunity to connect with so many of you.

Thank you for the kind words, encouragement, and support you’ve shared with me along the way. I am truly grateful.

Message from Debbi:

Thank you to all of our dedicated board members for your time, commitment, and leadership. A special thanks to Dawn, who will be stepping down as Events Director at the end of February. We are so grateful for her talent, dedication, and the many fun and memorable events she brought to our chapter.

We invite you to explore the exciting opportunities that these positions offer and to discover how you can play a vital role in our remarkable chapter. Your interest and enthusiasm can significantly contribute to our mission, and we would love to hear your thoughts on this. Joining us means becoming part of a dynamic team dedicated to making a positive impact, and we are eager to support you in understanding the full scope of these roles. Together, we can achieve great things!
