The HDDA congratulates new executive officers Julie Owens of Taste Full Beans as President, Brandon Hedrick of First Security Insurance as President-Elect, and Emily Westmoreland of Broome Associates as Secretary/Treasurer for the 2019 term.
The Board also congratulates Julie and Emily on their re-election for a second 3-year term and Elizabeth Mullins from Grace Communion Church, and Regina Stilton from Splentique, on being newly elected to the board. Gavin Mitchell of Boyd & Hassell and Tammy Panther of Focus Newspaper have fulfilled their eligible time on the board and will be stepping down.
