At our most recent board meeting, our newly elected executive board—continuing with the same dedicated members- was officially appointed:
Tracy Anderson – President

I am proud and honored to serve as your President for another term.
Our chapter was deeply honored to receive the Robert Duglin Chapter Excellence Award at the ASTA Globe Celebration in Chicago on January 22. We were also recognized as an Ambassadors’ Circle Chapter for exceeding expectations in ASTAPAC participation, consumer awareness, educational offerings, and more. You can view photos from the celebration at www.asta.org.
Our board is already planning a full year of local educational and networking opportunities beginning in March, with details coming soon. We are also working on several exciting FAM opportunities for our members—stay tuned and keep an eye on www.astasandiego.com for updates.
