Thank you Terri. All, I’ve known Susan for over a decade now and worked with her closely on Council and on other matters. She’s an excellent attorney, Councilor, and most importantly, person in general. I’m thrilled to see my colleagues at the NCPH nominate her for Council Chair. She is uniquely qualified to continue the excellent leadership that we have seen from Greg, Tomslin, and Nacho over the past two years. I strongly urge you to support her. Thanks, Damon J.
