May 2, 2021 | News & Announcements

After an extended two-year term as president of AFDA, Kenny Culpepper passed the gavel onto his successor, Scott Berna. The COVID pandemic, amidst great local and international turmoil, meant that the AFDA Executive Board remained unchanged last year. After a successful tenure, Kenny Culpepper presided over his final board meeting when it convened last week to set in place its new president. As well as handing over leadership of the organization to Scott Berna, the board also welcomed Robert Kaelin to its ranks, who will be serving as treasurer.

Hear from Kenny and Scott below as they reflect on the last two years and cast their eyes forwards to what comes next.
