Congratulations and Thank you to Kathy DeBoer for serving Arizona Forward for 20 years! While she is stepping down from the Board of Directors, Kathy and WestGroup remain committed members and supporters of this incredibly important organization. We will continue to contribute our market research and data expertise however needed to help AZF reach their goals.
Last week marked our fantastic annual member meeting and we wanted to share just a few highlights, as we had an incredible time celebrating the milestones and successes of the past year. We welcomed several new faces voted into the Regional Councils and Board of Directors, paving the way for fresh perspectives and ideas! Special recognition was in order for JB Shaw and Amanda Jordan, who worked hard securing the ADEQ Recycling Fund Grant program funding for 2024. And a heartfelt salute to Kathy DeBoer as she is moving on from our Board of Directors, her contributions have been invaluable! At last, a resounding round of applause echoed through the room for our outgoing chair, Kelly Barr! Her exceptional leadership has been the cornerstone guiding us toward unprecedented heights of success. With this, we're thrilled to announce our anticipation for the tenure of our new chair of the Board, Aaron Meilleur. His dedication and vision promise an exciting new chapter for our organization, and we can't wait to embark on this journey together under his leadership! #AnnualMeetingSuccess #CelebratingAchievements #NewBeginningsAhead
