Greetings!

"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them."
- Paulo Coelho

As we continue to look for new ways to reach our communities during this pandemic, it is wise to lean on personal experience while also learning from those around you.

Wisdom can be found in the most unexpected places. For instance, in this speech by Rick Rigsby, he tells a story about how "the wisdom of a third grade dropout" changed his life.

We can use our greatest strengths to chart new courses even in the midst of COVID-19 and I know you are using your talents and wisdom to guide your communities to better days.
Stay safe, stay well and thank you for everything you do.

Sincerely,
Peter M. Murphy, Esq., CAE, IOM
