Dear NDAA team,

Nancy informed me in recent weeks that the hour has arrived for a little more “Nancy time”….more time for daughters and grandchildren, more Ben (of course!), more travel, and more relaxation.

Nancy will retire from the association March 31 to begin the next chapter of her life. She has been with us for almost 19 years in various capacities, including working with the Travel program, Reunion, and Marketing Communications.

In Marcom, we will miss her ability to juggle all of the needs of the team—from class notes to condolence letters, print production to promotional items, financial management to content management, and lots of scheduling and organizing. By keeping it all together, Nancy kept us all together.

While Nancy has many outstanding professional qualities, there are some that are more informally assigned to her. To many of us, Nancy is our work mom and counselor—helping us navigate relationships and household crises. I think she has at least a couple “couples” she can claim as accomplishments.

We will all miss Nancy’s genuine caring—for her work and the people surrounding her. Please join me in congratulating Nancy on a stellar career with the NDAA and thank her for her service all these years!
