Natalie Abatemarco, Chair, Alliance Board of Directors
With sincerity and pride, Alliance Board Chair Natalie Abatemarco shared with conference attendees her reflections of the Board's work over the past year. "This past year has been a turning point for the Alliance; and, the Board has put its efforts around Best Practices to determine our priorities." Abatemarco also introduced the Chair-Elect, Allen Bromberger.
Tangie Newborn, Executive Director and CEO
Jovial at times; but, with confidence, Alliance Executive Director and CEO Tangie Newborn gave her inaugural address at the 2006 Annual Conference Opening Session. "We, as capacity builders, have a major responsibility to the communities we serve. We have the responsibility to ensure excellence in board governance and ethics." Newborn also paid honor to founding executive director Roni Posner, who retired from the Alliance in June.
