Although I stepped down officially from my board positions for the 2023-25 term at the 2023 AGM, I remained involved behind the scenes at a volunteer capacity supporting education by creating OATA monthly mailings, sharing member stories on the Connections Blog, creating promotional graphics for information sharing, and co-facilitating the new 2025 TATI-OATA art hives (with Susan , Cynthia and TATI students). - April
