Dear ACENA Members and Friends,
After many years on the ACENA Board, I am honored to be stepping up as the new ACENA President for the next two years. I am excited to follow in the footsteps of Brent Page and Patti Herbst who have shown remarkable leadership in this position over the last two terms. We are all so thankful for their continued support and dedication to ACENA.
The new board is eager to begin work together and is committed to increasing the presence of conductive education in North America while supporting the professionals currently in the field. There are many opportunities for members to get involved. We currently have several subcommittees that are seeking more input from members. We would love to open up the conversations to more voices. Please let us know if you are interested in getting involved.
It is important to me that we have open communication. Please do not hesitate to contact me via email if you have any questions or ideas for ACENA moving forward. Additionally, I will be available for phone calls every Monday 4:00 - 5:00 EST if you would rather chat. I am looking forward to working together with all of you.
