What a great Conference! The first Region 6 Conference was a success and a welcomed return to in person gathering. Thank you to all the sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees. Thanks to Nick Guarriello and Mike Dorsey our Program Committee Chairs, Erica Trout, and all the others behind the scenes that made this event possible and a success! We had a good showing of the membership from all five states in Region 6. Thank you to David Biderman, Executive Director of SWANA National, for attending and presenting. Hopefully everyone had a chance to enjoy some of the tours, golf and other events during the conference. As a reminder, if you enjoyed the event and are not currently a member of SWANA, there’s no better time than now to join! Go to our website and sign up now! We’re already making plans for our joint SWANA/VRA Annual Conference in 2022, more to come.

Before you go, a notice of nominations for the Board of Directors will be coming out soon. If you have a heart for service and want to give back to SWANA and your fellow members, consider serving on a committee or on the Board. I can speak from experience that engagement is very rewarding. Enjoy the last bits of Summer and stay safe!

Best Regards,
