A Time for Thanks

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought it was appropriate to take a moment to thank the team that has been working very hard with me this past year to plan the Annual Meeting. Our gathering in Jacksonville has a lot of people working behind the scenes to allow you to have the best possible experience. While a public shout out is the least I can do, I still want to take a moment to say
