AGM and 2019-20 Board Announced

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2019 AGM on May 30th where the 2019-2020 AFP Board of Directors were elected. We celebrated some very special volunteers and Leah Eustace shared some very important thoughts on mental health and wellness in our sector; this is an encore presentation of the talk Leah gave at AFP’s recent ICON conference in San Antonio, Texas, and it was an honour to have her share her story. The turnout was amazing and we thank everyone for joining us.
President awards were given out to three outstanding volunteers for their commitment to the chapter:  Bianca Oran, Andrea Peponoulas, Shelley McLean and a very special thank you was given to Norma Lamont who is leaving the PHILS committee after volunteering with AFP for over 10 years! We’ve been so fortunate to have your leadership.
