Letter from the State President
Hello TEMA,

Looking back on 2021, the Board and I thank you, our members, for your continued support, flexibility to change from old norms, and for going with us as we found new ways to achieve our goals. At the beginning of 2021, we had hoped to return to a more “normal” course, but it became clear very soon that 2021 would still be a departure from our old normal. From Snow-VID to more COVID to an increasingly more hybrid world, you continued to support, attend, and move forward with us, and for that, we are grateful. We at TEMA commit to never rest on yesterday's success, and we will continue to push ourselves to promote and support you even more in 2022.
This year holds lots of unknowns, but there are a few things that you can count on:

• You can count on TEMA to provide you with quality education,
• You can count on TEMA to provide you with times to network and engage,
• You can count on TEMA to remain true to our missions – to Promote Resource Stewardship, and
• You can also count on TEMA to listen to you and respond to the ever-changing needs of this growing industry.

Again, we want to thank you for your continued and valued support. This year may not bring us back to what we once knew as “normal,” but it will bring us back together more and more. And for me, that is something to look forward to. Again, thank you for supporting our great organization.

Sincerely,

Keith Ordeneaux
Thank you for a GREAT Year
