Andrea Kenyon, who last year was the Chair Elect/Program Committee Chair, steps up to serve as Chapter chair this year.  Gary Kaplan has been elected Chair Elect/Program Committee Chair.  Stepping down from the Chair position (or maybe she’s rising from the Chair?), Cynthia McClellan is taking a new seat as our Chapter’s Nominating Committee Chair/Parliamentarian, as Etheldra Templeton retires from that post.  Rounding out the Executive Committee are Mitzi Killeen, who assumes the Treasurer duties from Linda Katz; and Priscilla Stephenson, who assumes the Secretary’s duties from Sheryl Panka-Bryman. (Note: Priscilla is also the new Chief of Library Service at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center.  She is profiled elsewhere in this issue.)

Another Board member making a move is Linda Katz, assuming AHIP Liaison duties from Esther Dell.  As Joan McKenzie, our Archivist of many years, has retired, Annie Brogran, who is the new Librarian at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, is assuming those duties.  And since Gary Kaplan is now our Chair-Elect, Crystal Knapp has taken over Webmaster duties.

Returning Board members include By-Laws Committee Chair Lenore Hardy, Chapter Council Representative Anne Seymour, Chapter Council Alternate Nancy Calabretta, Communications Committee Chair Rachel Resnick, Development Committee Chair Christina Daley (finishing the term begun by Ellen Justice), Education & Credentialing Committee Chair Jeanette de Richemond; Government Relations Chair Stephanie Ferretti, and Membership Committee Chair Lydia Witman.
