In November of 2010, we held our annual meeting and board elections - New Board members will be announced in February.   All of our board members are extremely involved in and knowledgeable about Pattison’s Academy and its mission and we thank them for their time and financial support.  However, we most appreciate our board members’ commitment and passion to improve the lives of children with disabilities.
