Thank you to our moderator and panelist Janice Gow Pettey, Ed.D., and panelists Gina Johnson, M.P.A., CFRE and John Sonego! We are so thankful for your time, knowledge and experience. Thank you to all the GLAC members who attended the breakfast! We are so glad you came. A special thank you to Yulanda Davis-Quarrie, CFRE, MS for her support in making this day a reality.
