Thank you Melanie for starting the business meeting. Thank you for your 
service.

As outgoing LA, I would like to say that it has been a priviledge to serve 
ASP in this capacity. Anyone who might have questions about this position, I 
would be happy to share my experience. It is an amazing learning and growing 
position. 

Hugs,
Denise
