We discussed the need for revitalization and outreach to younger generations, as Metris aims to bring new energy and diversity to the club. Throughout our conversation, Metris shared her journey within the organization, from joining in 2008 to becoming president, and how she is working to bridge the gap between the club's storied past and its future.
