2025 Annual Changing of the Guard

by Megan Marnie, Chapter President

Last Thursday, March 27, 2025 we welcomed the new 2025-2026 Board in our Annual Changing of the Guard!  The new board is listed below.  I want to thank last year’s President Kate MacArdle for all her hard work and dedication.  We hope to continue those efforts this year and with new networking and educational opportunities.  Paul Thallner, author of Reinventing Resilience, presented "Bounce Back to What? How to Eliminate the Workplace Stress Epidemic ".   It was an interactive and thought-provoking presentation discussing how organizations put the burden of stress-reduction on workers.  Paul presented solid research and real-life scenarios showing that organizations and managers have the power and responsibility to dramatically reduce stress, lengthen life, and achieve their business objectives.
