One of the traditions of the Town Hall is to welcome to the stage candidates for the upcoming position of 2nd vice-presi- dent to speak to the membership. Michele DiMaggio, a long-time member and cur- rent board member, took the opportunity to state her interest in running for the position and shared her platform. To close the Town Hall, President Brown recognized and thanked our technical advi- sors and outgoing board members. He also introduced our incoming board members. The Town Hall was concluded after several minutes of questions and answers among our membership, leadership, and staff.

Raising Your Voice Networking Event Approximately 800 attendees got immers- ed in the local New Orleans culture at the Raising Your Voice Networking Event, which was held at Generations Hall, a former 1820s sugar mill. Attendees spent the evening connecting, dancing to a live 5-piece jazz band, and having their tarot cards read, a New Orleans tradition. Along with dinner, beverages, and live music, attendees were able to snap a photo in the event photo booth to commemorate the evening. Thank you to Hedgerow Software for sponsoring the photo booth and for providing our attendees with a small memento of the good times had while reconnecting with old friends and new colleagues.
