Happy New Year,

I hope everybody is enjoying their holiday season, even if it is a bit chilly for local diving. The Board is very proud to announce that we have secured a new location for our general membership meetings after the Marriott increased our rent again. We will now be holding our meetings at the Aloft Hotel in Delray Beach. Please come join us for another great speaker that Rick Dayan has lined up for us and check out our new location.

The following are the officers elected to serve on the Board of Directors by our membership. The appointed members will be appointed at the first Board meeting on January 12.

• President - Chris Hardham
• VP of Programs - Rick Dayan
• VP Overseas - Nils Jacobsen
• VP of Social Events – Open        
• VP of Local Diving - Ryan Goheen
• Secretary - Amy Welman
• Treasurer - Ronnie Farr

Please consider joining the board as the VP of Social Events. Several of the existing board members have filled this position in the past, the BoD has many great ideas to share and would be glad to help with the position.

We also need someone to volunteer for the Promotions position to run the Lobster pot at our meetings. Please consider joining the Board. Also, if you would like to donate for the Lobster Pot, any donations would be appreciated.

To attend a USA function, members must have a valid COVID-19 vaccination as defined by the CDC.

Happy diving,
Chris Hardham
