Please join us in welcoming Dan and Cyrus to their roles and thanking Ian for continuing his role.
Dan and Cyrus are new to leadership in the committee. Ian is a veteran, having served as newsletter editor for the past several years. Concurrent with the appointment of our new leadership team, David Powlen, a co-chair of our committee for the last several years and now with Western Reserve Partners, has left us and has become active in the Investment Banking Committee. We thank David for his years of service and wish him well in his new endeavor.

Serving on a committee is the first step toward a greater leadership role in the association, in addition to providing excellent business development opportunities through member contact.
