Welcome Note from New ARF Director Kim Shelton
Welcome back to the ARF community! I would like to introduce myself as the new director of ARF. But before I do that, on behalf of our whole community, I would like to thank Christine Hastorf for her unparalleled leadership and generous contributions as ARF director. I know that we all wish her a fantastic and well-deserved retirement yet will be thrilled to continue to see her around the building. I look forward to my new role here at ARF and to supporting the community as we develop in many directions into the future.
