I want to begin by thanking Silwana for her wonderful leadership over the past 2 years, especially with the turmoil from the pandemic, which forced us to change our Annual Update venue (last year and this) as well as resulting in all our committee and BOD meetings being virtual. Silwana has been hands-on in all aspects of Academy business. She chaired the Education Committee for the last two years, was directly involved in the Governance Committee, in addition to performing all her Presidential duties.
