She has been a dedicated employee of ABYC for ten years now, and she knows the organization inside and out. With her intimate knowledge of ABYC and her gracious demeanor when working with our members, we are confident that Judith will help build a stronger membership base. I couldn't be more pleased to have her take on these added responsibilities!"
