We had a great Holiday Party today at GBH! Our friends at Ross Video sponsored a very tasty lunch. Also held our chapter elections.
Mike Fitzpatrick has been re-elected Chairman, as has Dan Brown as Vice Chair. We have a new secretary with Aaron Read, and a new treasurer with John Kennedy. We thank Dan and Mark for their service to our chapter, and look forward to an exciting 2026!

A toast to long time Boston TV engineer Dave Beauvais on his well-earned retirement from WCVB-TV. At our annual Holiday luncheon, we gathered to wish him well and extend good fellowship. I really appreciate the support everyone has given us this year, as we ramped the chapter back up. Our meetings were well attended, with great speakers, great sponsors, and some of the best members around. A very special thanks goes out to GatesAir, Brian Szewczyk, and GBH for their continued hospitality this year. I hope everyone has a safe, healthy and happy holiday season. Thank you all for your support. - Mike Fitzpatrick/Chair.
