Newly elected president Ronnie VanderLinden said it had been a privilege to work side by side with Ronny Friedman during the past years. “It is my intention to serve the DMIA members the best I can and continue the board’s efforts to generate as much as possible added value for the membership at large,” he stated. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Addressing Ronny Friedman, he said: “Be assured we will be calling up on you, now you that you’re immediate past president. We’re not letting you slip away that easily. We’ll be needing your input and contribution.” <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
