Outstanding NAC member of the year
The NAC member for this year has been an amazing addition to our sisterhood. I am so lucky to have seen her grow in her leadership and service to this organization through her national service. Her work in the collegiate affairs division has transformed our vision for chapters and the vision for our national future as a whole. We are extremely sad to see her leaving us, but incredibly excited for the difference she is going to make as she starts her masters in bilingual education. Thank you and congrats to Vanessa Trevino, our outstanding NAC member of the year.
