“This is the second class to attend the Seattle Leader Week and our second group of officers. They are incredibly talented!” said George Cox, AHFA President. Added Joslin Boroughs, AHFA Director of Operations, “By giving each class a structure, we hope to build an alumni culture that will help Hammie Winners feel part of the Hamilton Friends community even after they have finished our program.”
