The Nominating Committee of the Boston Chapter #4 met in July, in order to discuss the suggested candidates for open Board positions and committees in 2014. The current board leadership is committed to growing our core group to include newer members to the chapter and to the industry. This allows us to continue to grow and also provides fresh ideas and insights for future chapter events and gatherings.
We are excited to say that we have a great list of candidates for 2014! We are looking forward to the approval and induction of these prospective Board members and wish them much success in the coming year.
