YFPA would like to express its deepest gratitude toward Eleanore Fernandez for her overall and excellent performance in serving the organization. At the onset of this year's administration, Eleanore admirably served in three different capacities for YFPA---Member of the Board of Directors, Executive Officer as Secretary and, last but not least, Chair for the Membership Committee. However, due to personal commitments, Eleanore has formally resigned her positions. Nevertheless, YFPA was fortunate to discover three individuals eager to fill the big shoes that Eleanore has left behind. YFPA is proud to announce the following appointments:

• Sam Baaklini, in addition to his role as Treasurer for YFPA, will now take on the role and the responsibilities of a Member of the Board of Directors.
• Keesa Ocampo will now take on the role and responsibilities of the Secretary of the Executive Officers.
• Marsha Galicia will now take on the role and responsibilities of the Chair of the Membership Committee.

Once again, on behalf of the Leadership and Membership, thank you Eleanore and welcome aboard Sam, Keesa and Marsha!
