How long have you been a member? 4 years AREW positions held: Board member; co-chair programs committee How has AREW contributed to your career growth? The professional and personal connections I've made through AREW have been invaluable, both in terms of learning through exchanging ideas and experiences, and in sharing "best practices." Most memorable AREW moment: As co-chair of the programs committee, pulling together timely, interesting and informative speakers' programs and events are always a challenge. So, the most memorable moments come when I know that the programs we have orchestrated are well received by our membership.
