A Season of Renewal
Spring is a time for renewal, growth, and expansion; we feel it in the air. As the days get warmer and longer, we seem to have the extra energy and focus to get more active and get more engaged.
Spring is also a time of change and opportunity. It is a great time to learn more or explore something new that you have always wanted to do. I hope you will be inspired in this season to get more involved in Langston in whatever way fits your needs.
I encourage you to attend the Membership Meeting and Virtual Networking Mixer this coming Tuesday April 6th at 6:00pm. During this event, you will have the opportunity to meet and network with Board Members and learn more about Langston’s different committees and initiatives.
We will also be announcing the results of the Special Election for the President-Elect position. Please note that virtual ballots will be sent out on Monday April 5th to all registered guests of the event and polls will close on Tuesday April 6th at 12Noon. You must be a paid, current Langston member to vote.
Participating in the election is just one way that you can be a part of the process; there are many other ways for you to step up and contribute. Join us Tuesday to learn more!
