Happy New Year,

I hope everybody enjoyed their holiday season. 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 and check out our new location.

The following is our complete Board of Directors.

• 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
• Hospitality – Claire Anthon
• Membership – Julie Manhold
• Photo Gallery Coordinator – Julie Manhold
• Photographer – Laura Moran
• Newsletter – Roger Cooper
• Education Coordinator – Howard Wratch
• Social Media – Open
• Historian – Robert Shearer

• Promotions Coordinator – Open

Please consider joining the board and get to better know our membership. Several of our board members have filled these positions in the past and would be glad to help with the positions.

The BoD has voted to rescind our previous requirement to attend a USA function, members must have a valid COVID-19 vaccination as defined by the CDC. We hope this allows some members to come and join us at our meetings. The only exception is overseas travel, trips will comply with the local requirements.

Happy diving,
Chris Hardham
President
