“It was a pleasure to lead the Philadelphia Chapter,” says Selleck. “The board and membership brought great energy and ideas that I plan to leverage in my current role as director of the Northeast Region.”
Rebecca Bishop has been an active member of WiE for over seven years. She has served on the Iowa Chapter board of directors as assistant director and director.
