As you may recall, an open call for self-nominations for the SDCBA’s Governance-Focused, Community-Focused, and Profession-Focused Committees was submitted to membership this past December. As President, I was thrilled and inspired to receive more than 100 self-nominations for Committee service. After a comprehensive review process, appointments were ratified by the Board of Directors. We would like to offer a sincere thank you to all who submitted self-nominations. Your commitment to the SDCBA is incredible. You can view the list of Committee appointments by clicking here »
This Thursday, in our next update about the COVID-19 situation, we will be sending an all-member survey seeking your input on the issues you would most like our help with during this challenging time.

I hope you and your families are safe and healthy.
