Dear NACFM Family,

We are excited to announce that the NACFM Board has appointed Lara Wood to be the Executive Director. Prior to appointing her, the board had her lay out her vision for how she would fulfill the role. You will begin to see some of that vision in the months to come as she jumps into the role.

Lara’s transition to Executive Director means that we have an open Vice President position. Would you prayerfully consider whether you feel called to fill this position?

The person who fills the Vice President role would finish the remaining 2 years of Lara's original term, and then would roll into a 3 year President’s term.
If you are interested, please let

us know through the link below and Tory Korthuis will be in touch with you.
