Congratulations to the 23 graduates of Headwaters Chapter’s Cohort V Basic Training class! Their accomplishments were celebrated on Tuesday, May 9, 2017, with dinner and the distribution of certificates, name tags and t-shirts in the community room of Eagle Carpet in Harrisonburg.

Space constraints meant the entire chapter could not attend the festivities but the entire chapter does join in welcoming the new members and looks forward to working with them on our diverse slate of projects.

Many thanks to Brian Lux and the HMN Basic Training committee, Chip Brown and his work as Programs Committee Chair, Eric Jones as educator and presenter for the graduation ceremony and the many others contributing to a successful class and commencement.
