Dear Tempo Racine Membership,

Grateful. That single word beautifully encapsulates my sentiments as I reflect upon my two-year tenure as president of TEMPO Racine. It has been an absolute honor to lead this great organization alongside a group of remarkable and collaborative women. Together, we have achieved remarkable milestones that have not only elevated our brand but also deepened our ties within the community. Most importantly, we have fostered a spirit of inclusivity and warmth, leading to exponential growth in our membership.

I extend my deepest appreciation to the hardworking and dedicated members of our Board: Liz Powell, Liz Hanson Will, Lynelle Saunders, Lynda Knudtson, Jennifer Eastman, and Jessica Safransky Schacht. Without their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts, our success would not have been possible. Each one of them has played a pivotal role in shaping TEMPO Racine into the vibrant organization it is today.

As I bid farewell to my role as president, I am delighted to announce that Jennifer Eastman, a highly capable and accomplished individual, will be taking the reins for a second time as president. I am confident in Jennifer's leadership and believe she will guide TEMPO Racine to even greater heights.

Additionally, I welcome our new treasurer, Sharon Johnson, and new program chair, Amy Mlot. The 2023-24 Board of Directors are Jennifer Eastman (president), Sharon Johnson (treasurer), Lynda Knutson (secretary), Liz Powell (membership chair), Jessica Safransky Schacht (communications chair), Amy Mlot (program chair) and me as past president.

Now, more than ever is the perfect time to become a part of Tempo Racine. We invite you to share our information with your network and encourage them to discover the myriad of benefits and opportunities that await new members. Together, we can create lasting connections, foster personal growth, and make a positive impact on our community.
