As I reflect on the last year, I would like to thank my Executive Board and Negotiation Team for all the hard work and especially their dedication to our Chapter. Agreeing to meet on chapter business after a long day is not easy. I sincerely appreciate the hard work and commitment from Joey Silva, Sareen Carrasco, Julie Boyt, Jennifer Williams, Neil Vandervert and Carmen West. If you see any of these individuals out and about, please take the time to let them know you appreciate their dedication and team work on everyone's behalf. 

I would also like to thank all of you, our classified staff, for your dedication to our schools and children. Your hard work is reflected in our students smiles, the campuses and buildings we work in everyday. 

May you be filled with peace, joy and family this holiday and very Happy New Year to all!
