United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that UBPN has selected a new slate of officers for the 2008/2010 term. It has been an honor and privilege for me to serve UBPN first as a founding member and secretary for 3 years, and then, as the President for the past 6 years but I am ready to move on to other and new pursuits. I am not going away but I will no longer be in a leadership role but rather in an advisory role as the Immediate Past President.

And so, I take great delight and with a lot of respect and anticipation, I pass the gavel to Richard Looby, who will lead UBPN ably and with a fresh vision.

He will be assisted by Vice President Kim West, Treasurer Sabrina Randolph and Secretary Tanya Jennison and other members of the Board of Directors – Julia Aten, Courtney Edlinger, Christopher Janney, Karen McClune, Lisa Muscarella, Claudia Strobing, Amy Theis, and Judy Thornberry.

I would also like to take a moment to thank outgoing Immediate Past President Cathy Kanter, and Kathleen Mallozzi and John Petit, who are concluding their terms on the Board of Directors. They have all given freely of their time, finances, talent and energy to see that UBPN follows her mission. We are all most grateful to them. It was Cathy’s vision that there needed to be an organization like UBPN and she called together that first meeting in Denver in 1999. We have come a long way since then. And we have a lot more to do and accomplish to complete our mission.

Please join me in thanking ALL those who work tirelessly for UBPN, both in the past and in the future, and give them your full support in this worthy endeavor.

Nancy Birk
