Welcome Message

Dear SFBTA Friends, Colleagues, and Community,

It is with warmth and gratitude that I serve as your President for 2026. I embrace this role in keeping with the dedicated legacy of so many strong leaders before me, as we continue to work collaboratively and build on our shared successes.

If you are not as yet a member, I encourage you to join the vibrant SFBTA community. Our  Standing Committees led by our Board Members, are available to all of our membership and we’re so thankful for any amount of time you can contribute to the smooth flow and development of this organization. 

In keeping with tradition, we look forward to a great SFBTA Conference in November of 2026 in Cleveland, Ohio, with Michelle Lasky as Conference Chair. Stay tuned for announcements as they unfold on this and the conference websites. 

Please email us at board@sfbta.org  with any questions, ideas or feedback. We will regularly provide updates on this website. 

Wishing you a year of growth, health, peace and possibilities! 

Warmly

Vicky E
