President's Message August 2020

It was great connecting with many of you recently at ACSN's first Virtual Summit. I'd like to thank Cheryl Bonner, Jillian Gray, Katie Poppe, and all others who have been working hard to postpone our in-person conference to 2021 while simultaneously coordinating meaningful virtual content for us this year.

Speaking of pivots, it will soon be time for our ACSN leadership to transition. Our terms of service are from September 1 - August 31, which means in the coming weeks we will welcome new leaders, see some continuing with their service, and say goodbye to those transitioning away from the board - at least for now. It's been an honor to guide this organization since last September and I can't wait to support the leadership of Marilyn Rice, our 2020-2021 President.

To all who have served on the board, committees, task forces, and more, as well as our partners at Riggs Enterprise: a big thank you. It has been no small task to support this organization in 2020, and you have risen to the big challenges we've faced. Please know that the work you do makes a difference, for and beyond ACSN.    -Johnathan Luster, ACSN President
