Western Division
We want to give a special thank you to Russ Sperling and all he has done for our division. His contributions have been tremendous and Russ has given smaller MEAs a bigger voice at the national level. Sam Tsugawa will be moving to Past President, Renee Shane-Boyd will step into the President’s spot, and Scott Hedgecock from California is the new President Elect.
