I was informed that Molly Butterworth of the Museum of Transportation is the new president of ARM.Congrats, MollyDanska

And condolences. As my wife and Lindsey Ashby know, the sweetest 3 words in English are "immediate past president", when applied to one's self in a non profit venue. Best wishes Molly. dave

Paul Hammond, ARM President for the last six years stepped aside to allow Molly to assume the presidentcy while he has a year left on the Board of Directors.ARM Board of Directors decided the other year to informally limit a board member to no more than three concecutive three-year terms.
