Please join NASE in congratulating Marilyn McMullen, a NASE Past President, on her selection as Farm Loan Chief for Montana. Here is Marilyn's message to NASE members:

"It is with a little bit of sadness that I say I am no longer able to be a full fledged member of NASE. I will continue my membership as an associate because I believe this is the best organization an employee can belong to if you want some control over your work processes.

If there is ever anything I can do for any of you from my new Farm Loan Chief position, please do not hesitate to ask. I hope you don't mind if I call on you all once in a while as well."

Thank you Marilyn, for your service to customers, employees, and NASE!
