SFNOMA/NOMAS LIAISON 

Jamila Afandi, is the type of member we embrace and support. As a result of her clear articulation of the difficulties facing new graduates, SFNOMA is excited to announce her on-boarding as our SFNOMA/NOMAS Liaison.  

We cannot grow the pipeline if we only stop at K-12.  We must support those who have committed 4+3 years of dedication to this final phase into the Profession.  Welcome Jamilla. You have the Board's full support in creating a team focussed on extending the Pipeline.
