Co-President’s Message 2 2019-20 RAPS BALLOTS are in and counted, and we are pleased to welcome those who are returning to the board, and to offer a big welcome to our one new member! Our new co-president is Steve Brennan, who most recently has served as RAPS Award Committee chair and also as organizer of the RAPS Bridge Group. Steve has been a RAPS member since 2011, so he is familiar with the RAPS who have been working with Brian and Ansel over the past several years, greatly appreciate their willingness to continue providing their skills to support RAPS. New to the board is Constance Andersen, who will serve as a member-at-large for two years. Constance served in several PSU units as an office administrator, with an extensive background in public relations. Both Doug Swanson and Charlie White will be leaving the board. Charlie has served on the RAPS Board in several positions over the years, including serving as president. This year Charlie completed a three-year stint as a member-at-large. RAPS members extend a warm thanks to Charlie for the many years of outstanding service he has provided to PSU’s retirement community. Finally, a very big thank you is due Doug Swanson, retiring co-president, for the outstanding commitment and service he has given to RAPS over the past two years. Doug has provided a steady hand with both enthusiasm and a great sense of humor. Thank you, Doug! —Dave Krug Board and the duties of a co-president.
