Board Changes
Last year we shared some changes to the NSPA Board of Directors. This year we are introducing you to some of our newest members. But before we do that, we wanted to take a moment to recognize the individuals that will be rotating off our Board.
Each of these individuals dedicated their time, efforts, and wealth of knowledge to the Coalition for over two years now. Aiding in the innovation and progression of the ever-growing emergency preparedness within your communities. And they did this while working other jobs and responding to COVID-19.
