Since its inception, the WAC has been made better by wonderful, caring, enthusiastic members who have volunteered their time, expertise, and passion. e city and the Club have evolved together, with purpose, and continue to do so. I want to express my appreciation for the leadership and support given to the WAC by Jason Hamilton, the Club's now-Immediate Past Chairman of the Board of Governors. His wisdom, thoughtfulness, and care for the WAC in the context of the complexities and challenges of the last few years is deeply valued by all. And welcome to our new Chairman, Jennifer Porto. We look forward to your spirit and knowledgeable guidance as the WAC pushes forward to serve the region and grow even more along with the rejuvenation of Seattle. We as a club have a wonderful opportunity ahead of us. Some social stability has returned, and as uncertainties become clear- er and confidence grows, the WAC becomes even more important in people's lives. Seattle needs the WAC. We must continue to invest and advance the Club and be the right place at the right time—for today and beyond. ank you for supporting the evolution.
