*Audrey will localize Support. Real Feedback. Welfare That Works for Every Branch.* Colleagues, welfare cannot be one-size-fits-all. Every branch has unique needs, unique challenges, unique members. That’s why my plan is clear… With support of the President, there will be: *Welfare Officers Network*. I will work to include Welfare Secretaries or appoint welfare officers in each branch to a committee that provides *localized support and feedback*.
