Please take the time to respond.  I would like to point out that Brandon Kyle and Mike Kuhse have retired from the SEAON Board.  We wish them the best and thank them for their time and support.  We also have four new candidates for the SEAON Board, see below for some additional information on these individuals.  As always, if you have any interest in joining a SEAON Committee or becoming more involved please reach out via email, our website (https://www.seaon.org/), or on Facebook or LinkedIn.
