[Chapter-delegates] VP of Public Policy announcement

[Lynn St.Amour]

Thank you Patrick, we are indeed fortunate.  The fact that we can  
attract individuals with the caliber of Markus is due to having such a  
wonderful mission, and even more due to the efforts of so many great  
individuals in our membership, chapters, staff, and Board who join  
with us in fulfillment of that mission.

Very best,

Lynn
