We are in the process of putting together the slate of officers for PSNC 2027. Bridgette and I have been presidents for 3 years and it is time for fresh leadership. Being on the Executive Board provides folks with points towards Signature Status and the membership fee is also waived for Executive Board and Committee chairs.  It is also a great opportunity to guide this great organization with innovative and fresh ideas. We need a vice president and secretary specifically. 

Leadership in PSNC is interesting and I know I have learned so much.  Bridgette and I both have been very grateful for all the work that the Committee Chairs have put into their various committees. Some have been on the Board for years.  We also recognize that nothing will happen if no one steps up. And it is time.  

If you are interested in serving as VP or secretary please let me or Bridgette know. 

Cheers and Happy Painting!

Daphne Boder and Bridgette Comellas

Co-Presidents, PSNC
