As the new year approaches, the Board constituency changes. We offer a farewell and many bows of gratitude to our Vice-President Hannah Meara, our long-term Treasurer Laurie Senauke, and our member-at-large Luminous Heart Penelope Thompson. All three have contributed greatly to our sangha. Hannah has researched and initiated green energy practices; Laurie has handled and reported on our budget, overseen the Office Manager, and participated on the Finance Committee for many years; and Luminous Heart has offered her discernment and communication skills to the benefit of all.
We are happy to welcome Rob Lyons, our current Sesshin Director and former Buildings and Grounds Manager, as incoming Vice-President. Erna Andre will be bringing her unique skills to be our new Treasurer; and former Recording Secretary Jonathan Koltz will be a new member-at-large. We are glad to welcome Simone Brumis as our incoming Recording Secretary.
And finally, much gratitude to Dan Jackson and Ellen Webb, who will begin their second two-year terms as at-large members.
