Dear NRRDA Members - It is with the utmost respect and appreciation that I thank Brian Chance for the mentorship which he extended to me way beyond his defined roll of President of NRRDA.  Thank you, Brian, for all that you have done to set me up for success – I do however have the right to re-engage with you if things go off track. I am honored and very excited to lead NRRDA into the next two years of excellence. 

I hope this letter finds you well and anxiously awaiting the holidays.  It is hard to believe that we have already come to the end of the year.  If 2020 was the year of COVID, 2021 was the year where we had to learn how to deal with it.  At the beginning of the year, most of us were wearing masks, restaurants were closed for indoor dining, retailers were struggling to stay open and courthouses were closed.  We have come a long way in just 11 months! ​
