BVSCA Executive Transition

The Executive Committee extends its thanks to Henry Staples, who is stepping down as President, for his many contributions. Henry spearheaded improvements to our processes, transitioned us to Salesforce which has greatly helped our ability to learn and disseminate information, and built our relationships in and outside of BVSCA.

We also thank Jim Rosen for stepping in as President, and to Adam Theo for taking on Jim’s former Vice President duties in addition to his job as Secretary.
