Hi All, I trust your Spring is off to a safe start.
We are
just 6 days from our Annual Conference and I'm looking forward to an
amazing week. We are on a record pace with registrations so let's keep the
momentum going. For those of you who've already registered, thank you!
If you
haven't yet registered, it's not too late. Please also plan on attending
our Annual Awards Banquet, Thursday evening. We'll be recognizing great
work by some of our peers which should make for a fun evening with friends,
along with a good meal.
It has
been an amazing year and I'm honored to have served as your President these
last 12 months. OACP is a great organization and I am proud to be a member
and to have represented all of you.
I really
hope to see you all in Bend.
In your
service-
