I would like to recognize Greg Hedger and Bill Pearson, both of whom who left the Board in December. Greg will be moving to Myanmar next school year from Escuela Campo Alegre in Caracas after serving on the AASSA Board for two years. Bill has been on the Board for the maximum term of six years and, in his role as Treasurer, he has been instrumental in ensuring our organization’s financial well-being. We wish both well and thank them for their service to AASSA.
