Welcome aBoard! UDCA Welcomes Newest Board Members

As we do every year, this past November the UDCA membership elected five UDCA Board members. Their three year terms begin on January 1, 2012. For the first time in memory, all five of our new Board members are serving on the Board for the first time! This was also their first time running for a Board seat! An impressive success reflecting the voting membership’s confidence and trust in these first timers. Time will surely confirm that this confidence is well placed. The hard work, new energy and fresh perspectives that Mary, Thomas, Sarah, Tamar and Ken bring to the Board will serve the UDCA well over the next three years.

With our optimism in welcoming these new members to your UDCA Board of Directors comes a sad farewell to five dedicated and hard working Board members whose terms are expiring. They’ve served the community well in varied capacities and on many of our most challenging and successful projects.  As of January 1, 2012, Nate Ford, our outgoing Association President, Tiffany Alexander, outgoing Vice-President, Shirley Lusby, LaWanda Harrison and Calesther Smith-Arnold will join the ranks of many august “former Board members”. We thank each of you for your leadership, energy, commitment and hard work. The offices of the executive board in particular offer many a challenge as well as reward. But also take a toll. We extend to you a special “thank you” and “job well done”! We look forward to each departing Board member’s participation in other ways as we all work to move the University District forward. It’s a Team Effort!
