This year has been a year of transition for RFFUtah.
It has seen a change in leadership, the establishing of a corporate identity, a new logo and expansion of RFFUtah’s active role with schools, libraries and professional education.
RFFUtah owes a great deal to those individuals who donated their time and talents to us. Thanks to David Deen for the new logo. Congratulations and thank yous to all of the individuals, including David Glenn Anderson, Caroljean Hanson, Helge Moulding, and Laura Swift, who worked on the programming for CONduit XIII. Special thanks to Nikol Alderman for assuming responsibility for the Student Art Contest very late in the year. And very special thanks must go to L.E. Modesitt, Jr., one of our fine trustees, for his generous financial and moral support this year.
The organization is facing a bright future. We can make a difference.
