This is a one-of-a-kind professional organization and I am glad that it was formed and has functioned despite the economic turmoil of the last few years and its effect on membership and participation. I joined as a "founding member" because I believed in AWSPs goals and mission, and wanted to be part of it. I liked the idea of bringing things together in one organization. I hope to become a more active member this year and take full advantage of the benefits of membership.- Barbara Rosensteel, AWSPs Founding Member
