The 2019 PRO Steering committee is pleased to announce the 2019 PRO Mentor of the Year, Veronica Forand. Forand is involved in serving multiple chapters and is a source of support for mentees with critiques, goal setting, and encouragement. She, along with a group of fellow authors, started a branch of Lady Jane Salon in the Southeast Pennsylvania area, which offers a monthly platform for romance writers to engage with readers and perform public readings. Congratulations, Veronica!
