\u201cI am grateful for the opportunity to represent Bell on the Division\u2019s Board of Directors and appreciate the chance to lead as President\u201d, said Ana Maria Quintana. \u201cI look forward to working with the other cities in the Division to make the organization an even stronger voice for the cities we represent.\u201d<\/p>\n
