She saw the “refit” of all her courses into the new Academy format, has always been a present and contributing members of the chapter, and also helped develop a new COVID-era chapter gathering – the monthly “drop-in.” Not only do we have our monthly chapter meetings (with business and usually an activity), but now we have an additional monthly gathering where members can chat about what they are watching on TV, movies, books, etc. This has helped maintain the social life for many members who are maintaining quarantine conditions. Jude is a leader of the chapter, not just the Communications Officer – she e-mails leadership and members to ensure we are maintaining STARFLEET regulations, such as privacy, and that we keep moving forward as a chapter, even in these challenging times.
