With our hearts filled with gratitude and sadness, the NPN family said good-bye at the Annual Meeting to June Wilson who has served as NPN’s chief operations officer for the past four years, and before that as a director on the board and as a partner.  June is moving to Seattle to be closer to family and has accepted a position at the Quixote Foundation.  We wish her all good luck in her new endeavors.
