Kudos to Richard Aliff!

Richard has been a crucial member of the board for many years, and it is only fitting we see him off with gratitude for his service to ASPE Raleigh Chapter! As a co-founder of the chapter, back in 1991, we owe many thanks to his hard work and dedication to see us through the years. We are grateful for your work and look forward to seeing you around, Richard!
