Campus Map | Linda Dye HonoredPast President Linda Dye was recently honored for her outstanding leadership of ILR. Vice president John Hammond presented her with a plaque and gift card on behalf of the Board at its May meeting. Linda had served as president for several years and was particularly critical to sustaining ILR through the Covid-19 pandemic. She tackled many technology problems which enabled our transition to Zoom broadcasting of programs. What was thought to be a temporary adaptation has remained and now allows members the option of viewing most presentations from home or in person. Her insight into long-range planning has been valuable for updating documents of the organization. New Officers electedThe newly elected officers were introduced at the recent members' luncheon. They will serve ILR for the year beginning June, 2025.
