Dave K. Franz, Group Vice President Structures Brian C. Abbott, Past President Also, I’d like to add a special thanks to our Immediate Past President Chris Dodge for his dedication to and leadership of AREMA over this past year. I look forward to Chris continuing to serve on the Board of Governors this next year, and serving on the Conference Operating Committee in the future. AREMA’s success is due in large measure to the efforts of its volunteer leadership.
