Open Convention Winners

The motion to change the name was made by Deana Thurston of Oregon, and seconded by Vanessa Jordan of Oregon. All members in attendance agreed. Members included: Patti Byerley (IN), Nancy Richmond (ID), Nickie Raines (MT), Vanessa Jordan (OR),Shawna Denny-Land (MT), Lili Moore (WA), Deana Thurston (OR), Nikki Manley (OR), Shawn Eggers (CA), Kristin Lehman (WI), Barb Adams (BC), Peg Hailey (PA) and Thomas Green (KY) via phone.
