The NFSA BOD had a productive meeting at the Orange Grove pavilion at WSPSSP this afternoon. The meeting also served as our annual members meeting, and we appreciate the turnout from our membership base. The most exciting news was the election of Mike Stine to the BOD to fill one of two vacant positions. Additionally, the BOD appointed Mike as President. Also,re-elected to the BOD were Kelly Jessop and Bobby Frankin whose terms expired this year.

During and after the meeting, we had preliminary discussions for 2016. This included Martz Sink step repairs (more to come), ECO-Day, the Advanced Skills Seminar, membership, and our outreach projects. We also discussed the newsletter. We have not had a newsletter since the second quarter but will issue one newsletter per quarter in addition to other communications via social media. You will hear more about 2016 in the near future.

I would like to thank a few faces of the NACD. First, a huge thank you to Kelly Jessop. Up until June of this year, he had been your president for a long time and then some. Through his leadership and countless hours, he has help make the NFSA what it is today. Also, thank you to Linda Rennaker Strait and Jon Bernot. They served on your BOD until the third quarter of this year, and we appreciate their contributions.

The NFSA has been fortunate to have many volunteers to help meet our annual goals, and we much appreciate giving your personal time. We could not do it without you. We hope that you can continue to help. For anyone else, if you are interested in helping please let us know.

I hope you all have the Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
