SFBIG'ers,
My first words as SFBIG's incoming president are to wish all of you the start of a promising new year. On behalf of the board, volunteer staff, and members, I would also like to pass on much appreciation to Heidi Browning, our outgoing President, for her efforts towards cultivating our growth and vision in digital marketing within this organization.
