VP of Membership's Report
Your New Member Orientation
By: Kevin Lawrence, VP of Membership
Hello WALA members! I hope you are all staying safe, healthy and sane during this strange and challenging time. As your new VP of Membership, I’d like to briefly introduce myself. I have served on the Board going on four years – three years as your Treasurer, and as your President Elect-Elect and VP of Membership since April of this year. I look forward to serving you all and getting to know each of you better.
While COVID-19 has tested our resourcefulness, both WALA and ALA are working hard to provide the education, resources, social connections and other benefits to which you are accustomed. WALA will be hosting a New Member Orientation via Zoom on June 17th from Noon to 1:00pm. Whether you are a new member, seasoned member or prospective member, I hope you will attend.

Once again, stay safe, healthy and sane.
