This is not a stickup! This is Prez Kopaska demonstrating what April 2020 looks like, most likely from home and sadly not in his sampling boat!
Next Prez-Elect will be Mark Fincel!
Congrats to both Mark and Jim Lamar for running two tight campaigns, with minimal mud-slinging and no accusations of impropriety! National politicians should take note! Take a moment to congratulate Mark.

Participants in the Program are selected based on their level of involvement in AFS, as well as their potential for assuming leadership of Society units in the future.
