CERIC's progress is something we can all celebrate because of our contributions and relationships formed, and our collective investment in their success. Kudos to founding executive director, Riz Ibrahim, and current ED, Kay Castelle, and the many CERIC board members and committee members through the years for their leadership. Congratulations and well done, CERIC!
