New NWRSF President


After several years of strong leadership to the organization, Jack Bennett has stepped down from the presidency of the NWRSF. Although no longer the president, Jack will continue to be active in the organization, and we can all look forward to seeing the Bennetts at our annual meeting this summer.

Our new president is Jay Weimern. NWRSF members will know Jay and his wife Salinda as long time active members. Jay is made it his goal to continue providing an accessible and fun conference for our local families each year, as well as to spend 2010 updating our members list and reaching out to local families and professionals who treat people with Rett syndrome.

In other board news, Gary Kostenko is the new NWRSF vice president, replacing Salinda Weimern. We are also welcoming new board member Adam Cramer for the 2009-10 year.
