How do you let go of a precious jewel?

Terri has been a jewel in AHDI-West’s crown. She joined our Board of Governors in January 2010. Her vision and ability to remain calm in the midst of turbulence has been a true gift to all of us. Terri has been instrumental in the direction our association has gone throughout this year. She has served on the AHDI steering committee developing our future structure.

We are sad to say good-bye to this Arizona resident as she and her husband (and dog, Princess) return to Oxford, Maine. Although it’s hard to imagine the transition to this frosty climate, we are certain she will be warmly welcomed by the AHDI members of the Northeast.

Until we meet again…

Revisit her story.
