I would like to thank Chris Raebel for his strong leadership of the organization over the past year, his unwavering passion and enthusiasm provide a great path for us all.

I would like to congratulate Travis St. Louis as the President-Elect and to welcome our new AEI Board Members:. And I would also like to thank Leigh Harrison for his leadership, service and contributions to AEI as he rotates off the AEI Board, although we do look forward to his continued participation as an AEI President Emeritus.
