Thank You

Dear Members,

As I prepare to leave my current position as VP of Communications to take on the role of President of our Guild , I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the incredible team that has been the driving force behind our successful communications efforts this year.

Leslie Veditz’s dedication as Website Manager has kept our online presence vibrant and engaging. A website is a 24/7 endeavor, which includes posting content at all hours of the day, taking photographs, and formatting articles. Leslie took on these tasks and more without complaint.  

Rebecca Jensen’s skill as Operagram Editor gave our members an efficient way to access events and news on our website; she is also responsible for all of the event reminders from the Santa Fe Opera Guild. Thank you, Rebecca, for stepping up as my successor and continuing this important work. The Communications Committee will continue to thrive under your leadership.

I also want to extend my appreciation to our feature editors, Martha Baker (Apprentice Watch) and Janet Sanders (Member Spotlight), whose contributions have enriched our content and showcased the heart of our Guild. And thank you to Rodney Cyr, the team member who  photographed our events.

It's been an incredible journey of collaboration and shared passion, and I'm excited to see the team flourish under new leadership. Thank you for your dedication and for making our Guild's voice heard.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our members for supporting our start-up website and reimagined Operagram. Everything we do is with you in mind.

With love and gratitude,

Bernadette
