Good morning NEOA, I hope this email finds you all well. Thank you to everyone who attended our 49th annual NEOA Conference in Warwick, Rhode Island. My hope is that you all are still reflecting on the history, knowledge, and resources that we collected during our time together. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making the week a resounding success, from the conference committee, technology committee, registration volunteers, hospitality team and everyone in between, your work did not go unnoticed. I hope the conference has sparked an interest in wanting to serve, whether it be on a NEOA committee, as a mentor, or in another capacity.
