A Fond Farewell from Amy Rollins

My last day as your Member Services Director will be Wednesday, August 9. Thank you for helping make these past eight years so fun and rewarding. It has been my honor to serve along side so many individuals who strive to make the Camden-Rockland Region a picture-perfect place to live, work, volunteer and play. How very fortunate I feel.

I love this community, and I trust that our paths will continue to cross as I begin a new chapter of my career later this month. Onward!

-Amy
