Welcome AOR's New Fundraising Chair, Lexi French
After serving 3 years as AOR's Fundraising Chair, Alex Bertolucci accepted a new job outside our industry and vacated his seat in October. Alex did a tremendous job and made selling raffle tickets look like a piece of cake. AOR posted its search for a new fundraising chair in early November, and received several applications to fill the position. It was a tough choice, but the Board appointed Lexi French to serve as our new Fundraising Chair. Please welcome Lexi to the board!
