Donna Jacobs Steps Down from National Board. David Sayles Returns

Citing the level of activity and responsibility associated with her role as Sr. Director of Infrastructure Operations at the University of Pennsylvania, and the resultant challenge to participate as actively as she would like, Donna Jacobs (left) has resigned from the ACP National Board of Directors. Board Chair Scott Ream said, “The Board and I appreciate the contributions Donna made and we thank her for her service. We wish her nothing but the best.” Jacobs will continue in her role as Secretary of the Liberty Valley Chapter.

Upon accepting the resignation, Ream appointed David Sayles (below) to fill the vacancy and the Board confirmed the appointment. Sayles was appointed to the Board in January 2018 to finish a term that ended when the year did. His new term ends December 31, 2020.

“David was a fully involved Board member last year so we will not miss a beat,” said Chairman Ream, “we are fortunate that David is able to return.”

Sayles is a Past President of the ACP Colorado Rocky Mountain Chapter and currently serves as its Program Director.
