Congratulations on this well deserved honor!

As part of our anniversary celebrations, we are excited to celebrate our organization's emerging leaders - those who will help NAPNAP grow and succeed in the next 50 years.

Our New York Western chapter nominated Christie Koedel. Christie's experience serving on her chapter's board and her dedication to volunteer work exemplify an emerging leader's qualities.
