Hello MEEOA,

As many of you know, September 1 marks the end of MEEOA's 18-19 association
year, and the start of our new Executive Committee year. I wanted to take a
minute to introduce myself to those of you who don't know me, but first, I
want to thank a few people who are stepping off the board after years of
work. Dori Fellman just completed her second go around as MEEOA President,
notably as our first GEAR UP MEEOA president. Michelle Richards, who
actually has been the only MEEOA Alumni Chair, is stepping down from the
board, but promises to be back soon. Please join me in thanking them for
their years of service!

Now, on to our new board... My name is Steve Visco, and I am the Assistant
Director of the MEOC and METS programs at the University of Maine. I will
be serving as the President this year. I am very excited about the board we
have pulled together this year!

their weekend,

Steve
