Farewell from Bruce W. Becker, Executive Director
Standing Upon Your Shoulders
Over an ACDA career of volunteer, elected, and staff leadership positions spanning 46 continuous years, I’ve learned that our professional lives are filled with people who come and go, people we remember, and those who fade. As I move on from here, I hold each of you in my memory, grateful for all the time we spent together. I thank you for the privilege of being able to humbly “stand upon your shoulders”.
FINE!
Bruce W. Becker
Executive Director (July 1,2009-June 30, 2022)
