The Network Loses a Long-Time Friend and Colleague

On Thursday, February 15, the OD Network lost Randi Rosenberg to battle with reoccurring cancer. She was a great asset to the Network in her role as Director of Conference Sponsor and Exhibitors as well as the world. We extend our sincerest and deepest sympathy to her family and friends for this terrible loss. A spirit like Randi’s is sure to live on. Read more about Randi’s life and work.

Board of Trustees Welcomes Three New Members

The OD Network is pleased to welcome three new members to the OD Network Board of Trustees: Darya Funches, Laurie Lemieux, and Matt Minahan. Network members elected Darya and Laurie for 6-year terms beginning January 2010. The Board appointed Matt for a 4-year term beginning January 2010 as well.

“We hoped for new members who could enrich and diversify the Board’s capabilities, and we’ve certainly achieved that,” said Chair June Delano. “These are experienced contributors to the field of OD, as well as to the Network as members and volunteers. During our recent meeting in Washington, DC, we were able to see just how much value they will add to the Board.”

The Board also recognized the untiring and insightful contributions made to the Board and the Network by Kenneth Jones, whose term expired at the end of December.
