Greetings KSHE Members and Friends,

Spring has finally arrived in Kentucky, and boy am I glad. I’ve actually seen blue skies in Owensboro for three days in a row. What we will NOT do in this month’s President’s letter is talk about March madness. Instead – like most others across our nation - we will patiently “WAIT ‘TIL NEXT YEAR!”

Your KSHE Board has had a very active winter. Our Membership VP, Andy Woommavovah, and his directors are working hard to increase the value of your KSHE membership.
