President's Report
It is with mixed feelings that I announce the resignation of Louis Konstant and Rohan Jagasar from the positions of MDRAO President, and Vice President. They have both recently decided to step down due to personal reasons. The MDRAO would like to take this opportunity to thank them for all of their outstanding contributions over the past several years, and wish them the very best with their future endeavors.
