The Passing of the torch!
The Association elected a new president at it's regular meeting electing Peter Alberti, Emergency Management Director for Onondaga County, as it's new president. President Alberti will serve a 2 year term. Peter replaces outgoing President Roger Lander, who has served as president for two, 2 year terms. Roger (right) is being recognized by the new president for his dedication and accomplishments over the past 4 years. While President Lander was in office, he presided over a change in State Directors, an explosion of Homeland Security Initiatives and a continued growth in the association as well as it's conferences.
Thanks you President Lander!
