In appreciation to our outgoing President.
As your time on the MN AFAA board draws to a close, we wanted to express our sincere gratitude for your service. Board service is the toughest volunteer role, and you took on your board duties with dedication, grace, and seriousness.
More than your amazing ability to connect members and experts with board members or your willingness to jump in and fill a gap during our events and meetings, we are most grateful for your active leadership.
We appreciate the full term you served. You will missed as a leader of the board. We look forward to our continued relationship as a member of the MN AFAA and a leader of the Fire Life Safety community.
