A Note of Welcome from the 2019 Board Chair

Dear friends, As you may all know, the governance of our wonderful organization is overseen by a group of 12 dedicated, enthusiastic individuals whose one goal is to maintain a healthy, rewarding Friendship Force so that it continues to thrive and expand well into the future. Each year, several members step down from the Board and a new group is appointed. We are proud to announce this year’s new appointees:

Please visit the Board of Directors page of our FFI website and take a moment or two to read the biographies of these enthusiastic members – and the other nine Board of Directors members too. Don’t be afraid to make yourselves known to us at conferences or on Journeys – we need to know what you are thinking.

In friendship, Bobbie Mulholland Adelaide, Australia 2019 Board Chair
