The Welcome Initiative seeks to broaden student membership in the SBN. The initiative was generously funded by members, who received hats knitted by Immediate-Past President Rae Silver for their donations. Thank you to Rae, to our members for supporting student memberships, and to DEI committee members Stephanie Correa, Kimberly D’Anna-Hernandez, Patricia Lopes, and Farrah Madison for selecting our winners.
Thanks again to those who contributed to this very worthy cause.

SBN President
