First off, I would like to thank everyone who attend the conference in Phoenix. It was great seeing everyone after a year and a half apart. I am looking forward to the next two years as we continue to come back together. I would also like to thank Dave for his last two years as president. It was a crazy term to say the least, but Dave did an excellent job navigating the organization through the rough seas. I would like to also thank Lance Johnsen, Charlie Weaver, Brad Ashley, and William Weaver for joining me on the board. I am confident that with this team the next two years will be successful for SHDA.
Finally, if you have not already done this please save the date for April 24 through April 29, 2022 as we will try once again to celebrate the 50th anniversary of SHDA in Frisco, Texas.
Regards,
Rob Justen
