A Note from the Maine AFP's President:

As I become our chapter's next President, I first would like to thank Sue Cheff for all of her leadership these past two years as President.  We are especially grateful to her for guiding us through the retirement of our former Executive Director, Deborah, and transitioning us to our new Executive Director, Adam.
