SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2019 7
To the past, present … and possibility
is issue of WAC Magazine is largely about transition—from summer to fall, from fiscal
2019 to fiscal 2020 (sounds so futuristic!), from Immediate Past Chairman Phil Abbess to new
Chairwoman Rose Mitchell. Along with Rose, we also welcome in a wonderful new group of
member leaders.
Now is the perfect opportunity to be grateful for the progress and accomplishments the
Club experienced during 2018–2019 and excited for what is to come.
ank you to Phil for his spirted, all-in participation and support of the WAC in his role as Chairman of the Board of Gover-
nors. And welcome, Rose, who joins the impressive company of 90 years of WAC leaders. Rose's member experience exemplifies
the value the WAC brings to members' lives. Learn much more about the Club's 2019–2020 Chairwoman on pages 36–41.
We look forward to Rose's passion and leadership.
So this month, we both reflect and reveal! Here's to the past, present … and possibility!
