Dear ARBA members,
Recently, the ARBA Board announced that we were taking applications for ARBA Executive Director. A search committee was appointed to oversee the process. The search committee reviewed the applications, conducted interviews of selected candidates, and made a recommendation to the ARBA Board. Ultimately, in accordance with the ARBA Constitution the Board approved Eric Stewart (PA) as the next ARBA Executive Director. I urge each of you to help Eric in his transition as the next ARBA Executive Director. As President I wish Eric the best and stand ready to offer guidance and assistance as needed. The patience and support of the entire ARBA membership to help achieve this objective in a positive and timely manner is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Chris Hayhow
ARBA President
