I would like to congratulate Destinee Jackson on her promotion to Web Master! Destinee has some great ideas on ways we can continue to build our website and web team through the use of new technologies, and build upon the foundation that our web team has created. Destinee will be transitioning into the Web Master role through the end of the year. Destinee is taking over the web development team at a great time as we prepare to begin working on new projects to better enhance the user experience within our community. We are truly excited to see what Destinee can achieve.

Congratulations Destinee!

Secondly, I would like to thank Samuel Valencia for his time volunteering as our Web Master. Sam has lead the development of three different websites during his tenure as Web Master and without his hard work, our community wouldn't be in the positive position we are in now. Although he is resigning, Sam has offered to stick around at least through the end of the year to continue training Destinee and to bring her up to speed on the operations of the department before he moves onto new opportunities. I want to wish the best of luck to Sam and thank him sincerely for the hard work he has provided for our community.

Thank you Sam!
