You sound like a wonderful OPA board. Lots of good energy went into the last few years of OPA to update it into the age of Zoom and online communication while still keeping a personal touch with online workshops and an awesome emailed newsletter. Looking forward to more good years ahead. Thanks and cheers to you all.
Thank you, Shirley. We do have a great board and look forward to a wonderful year. I hope to see you soon on Zoom and in person in the not-to-distant future.
