NAFA Organizational Announcements

• NAFA has received the resignation of Judy Hagan. We will miss her work and superb effort, and wish her the very best in her future endeavors. Thank you Judy, for your hard work and service to NAFA.

• Executive Director Sam Ford has appointed Karen Oleson to take over the administrative duties of the Executive Director's office. Karen reports directly to Sam, and is responsible for the daily support of NAFA. With Karen's appointment, the executive director's office will make changes to better utilize everyone's talents. Sam and Karen are evaluating the placement of task and expect some rearranging of assignments in the near future.

  Karen is not a replacement for Judy Hagan, who resigned in December. The administrator role will evolve as a result these staff changes, and Karen will use her talents to provide NAFA with good daily support in her own unique way.

  Karen has been in charge of NAFA tournament sanctioning since December 2004. She is an excellent organizer and is a perfect fit for this new role.
