people get is serving our customers, making them feel safe and comfortable, and hoping to see them again another day. We would never endanger our customers, our employees or our families.

Unfortunately, due to all this pandemic mess, we were unable to have our last two conventions. We were planning to have an election for executive officers at the fall convention. There were three uncontested races, and I would like to congratulate Cathy Vales, senior vice president; Erin Pulaski, state secretary; and Todd Giraud, our new state treasurer, on their election. Thank you for stepping up into these leadership positions.

I want to additionally thank Tom Dahlen for over 20 years of hard work and service as our state treasurer. You will be greatly missed, but we look forward to seeing you at all of our conventions as a visitor instead of making you work. Dahlen sold his business and has decided to enjoy his welldeserved retirement. Dahlen was not only a great treasurer and leader of this association, but also a great friend over the years. He was instrumental in implementing many programs and fundraisers that allow the TLW Foundation to be able to give back to our local leagues.

Moreover, many of you may have heard by now that Pete Madland, our executive director for the last 20 years, and past president and director before that, will retire at the end of January 2021. He has done way more for this association than I can put in this column. Madland is the face of this association in Wisconsin and around the United States. We have huge shoes to fill.

I hope he will continue to stay on with the TLW in a new, less time-consuming role that allows him to enjoy retirement with LuAnn and yet allow us to continue to tap his vast knowledge of this industry. Madland has not only become one of my greatest friends, but also a mentor. I always look forward to the time we spend together, and he has helped me navigate through choppy waters both personally and professionally.

A committee will be formed to find his successor. We will keep you all posted on its progress. Please drop Madland a line to let him know what he has meant to you over the years.

Here’s to 2021! TLW

Salute,

Chris Marsicano TLW President
