 A Message from our President
Dear PCACAC Members:
It is an honor to write my last message as the President of PCACAC. This past year has been one of the greatest experiences of my career. I have enjoyed working alongside the PCACAC Board members, committee chairs/vice chairs, former delegates and our dedicated and inspiring members.
Please help me welcome Chris Gothard (James Madison University) and Hannah Wolff (Georgetown Prep) as Chair/Vice Chair of our College Fair & College Night Committee and Kathleen Voss (Georgia Tech) and Amy Moffatt (Towson University) as Chair/Vice Chair of our Admissions Practices Committee.
During my year at the PCACAC helm, I am thankful to have worked closely with a dedicated, strategic and compassionate Leadership Team--Melisa, Libby, James, Rosemary and Lynn—there is no better group to start Thursdays with--thank you! Together, we accomplished much—for that I am proud.
I’d like to offer a sincere thank you to Kellie Stewart (Gonzaga College High School) for her dedication to creating and publishing the Anchor Splash over many years, and to her past leadership of the Communications Committee. We wish you all the best as you transition to your next adventure in beautiful Melbourne, Florida. PCACAC will miss you!
As we look forward, Rosemary Martin Edwards, PCACAC’s next President, will lead us as we continue to #Reimagine & #Recreate our work. I am confident PCACAC’s star will continue to rise.
With deep gratitude,
Ann Marie Strauss
