From the Director
JULY IS HERE! Major kudos to our amazing administrative team of Emily, Lynsey, Bridget, Kayla, Vashyra and Tyesha for their incredible work putting together orientation activites and to our chiefs for ushering in the new year! Kudos of course to Ben Berger for his legendary noon conference as well!
We are so excited to have our new teams starting. I’ve already heard such great things about everyone in their new roles. Noon conference attendance is robust and the snack baskets are full. Fellowship applications are getting uploaded this week – what a milestone!
Congratulations to our newest resco reps: Mark Brahier, Yemi Olubowale, Alison Smith, Auston Stiefer, Matt Pisarcik, Dan Weinberg, Hannah Schwennesen, Karen Lin and Chris Luccarelli. Intern reps will be elected soon!
Also congratulations to Sandra and Dan Loriaux on the birth of Penelope! All are doing well.
