“I've been very fortunate to be able to step forward and be a leader and volunteer in the organization at several levels. You often get back more than you give. That opportunity to contribute to the profession, solve problems, monitor leading edge trends, and do something about it is a very important characteristic of a profession. Engaging in volunteer work like that is very rewarding.”

—Dave Edyburn, member since 2000
