As I pen my final President’s Corner, I am filled with immense gratitude. We have accomplished so much together this year! I want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible volunteers:

• Resources & Research: For launching version two of our benchmarking survey (members can access the full report on our website now!).
• Conference & Sponsorship: For executing a stellar annual conference and creating meaningful new pathways for our sponsor partners to engage.
• Programming: For already building out a robust, full calendar for the upcoming fall semester. (Be on the lookout!)
• Membership: For conducting vital research into why our members join and renew.
• Executive Board: For working tirelessly behind the scenes to optimize our finances, launch a new committee, and update job descriptions to make future board volunteering easier.


To every single ACSN member: Whether you served on a committee, attended an event, posted on LinkedIn, contributed to our repository, or completed the benchmarking survey - thank you. We quite literally couldn't do this without you.

I am deeply honored to have served as your president and to have heard from so many of you throughout the year. ACSN is an organization incredibly close to my heart, and I feel that even more acutely now. I leave you in the exceptionally capable hands of incoming President Pat Fligge, and President-Elect Alex Beard. As I transition into the Past-President role, I remain a steadfast friend, sounding board, and colleague to each of you.

My final reflection prompt for you is: how has ACSN helped you this past year? What is something new you learned through ACSN? Please don’t hesitate to stay in touch or share your reflections: [email protected] or on LinkedIn.
