experience as chair to help guide the newly appointed chair elect

Mid-Year Meeting Review:
There were 125 attendees, and 17 speakers in attendance, including the keynote speaker Mr Sam Silverstein Mr Silverstein gave an engaging presentation challenging the participants to a renewed personal accountability with No Excuses The larger number of presenters was due in part to the adoption of a shorter presentation style for the first part of the meeting The
