To celebrate our wonderful, unique and diverse membership, IWAP is profiling one member each month. We’re asking members the same questions that will hopefully let us – and you – get to know them better. Each month we will profile a different member with the answers they provided along with their photo. Karin Genton-L’Epée is January’s selection.
