Mike Dean, next Executive Director of the SFA

Post by Todd Luster » Tue Sep 19, 2017 7:55 am

Attention!
Attenzione!

I would like to announce that Mike Dean has been elected by the board of directors as your next Executive Director of the SFA!

It's been real and it's been fun, I can even say at times it was real fun!
I have enjoyed my time, but it's time to pass the torch on.
Mike will do an excellent job for our organization and I look forward to the watching him lead!

Good luck and thank you Mike Dean!

Congrats to Mike! very confident that Mike will do a great job!


Todd (& Christie) a huge thank you for stepping up and taking the reigns. It is a job that can never be fully described with words alone. Until you have wore the many hats, fielded the many calls, managed on the fly and on & on, it is hard to fully grasp the magnitude of your service to the SFA. Suffice to say that it was probably more than anyone expects. It is far more than most realize. The entire board makes sacrifices of time and effort on behalf of the SFA. The executive director does this and then some!! You did a stellar job. THANK YOU.
