Now I would like to introduce you to the new Board of Directors who will begin their 4 year term in January of 2019:
Albert Stortchak, Fiona Boylan, Eduardo Eed are returning along with the following new members - Philip Kocev (iPro Realty), Steven Biasutti (SideBar), Jay Cianfrini (The Danforth Music Hall) and Councilor Paula Fletcher (new Ward 14).  Thank you all for putting your names forward to sit on the Board of Directors.  I'm looking forward to an exciting new term!
