QUOTATIONS FROM THE CFMS BOARD OF DIRECTORS:

“Thank you for putting your trust in me to be your President. The CFMS is at a critical crossroads which requires a tangible plan for improving representation, engagement, and EDI in your organization. Luckily, you have elected a team that has the passion, skills, and commitment to realize this vision. The board still has many vacant positions (which I encourage you to look into as the process for filling them is determined). We are beginning to transition with the outgoing board as they pass the culmination of their nearly 1.5 years of hard work onto us. We are excited to hit the ground running officially in the Fall.”

Montana Hackett, 2022-23 CFMS President-Elect

“It is going to continue to be an amazing year of growth for this organization. I am incredibly proud of the change the outgoing board has done to support the calls to action. I am excited to work with the new board towards continued growth as Past-President and Board Chair.”

Santanna Hernandez, 2022-23 CFMS Past-president & Board Chair (Current President)
