President’s Message — May / June 2020

Perry Thomas, NALMS President As the 2020 summer solstice passes, NALMS is responding to new challenges, while keeping an eye on the organization’s bottom line. So far, so good, thanks to teamwork by our staff, conference host committees, board, and larger membership. The Minnesota Host Committee, co-chaired by Anne Wilkinson, Joe Bischoff, and Nancy Schuldt, navigated shifting winds of pandemic precautions during the spring and ultimately decided to postpone their face-to-face NALMS Symposium until 2022. Conference Committee co-chairs Dendy Lofton and Chris Doyle researched online platforms and developed a draft schedule for a virtual ...

Together with them, we are in a holding pattern as we await input from NALMS members and the meeting venue regarding how best to proceed. By June 1, we all expect to know more about what will be possible, given the need to protect the health of all participants. Updates will be posted on the Symposium website. The first silver lining has to do with the essential workers within our ...

Good tidings to all on this post-winter-solstice Monday! NALMS sends thanks for a wonderful year. Special thanks to Sara Peel for her hard work and strong leadership as president—and for continuing to serve not only as past-president but as incoming conference coordinator.

I want to echo her call here and urge you to send in your story, even if you only have time to send a few lines. If yours is anything like Sara’s and mine, you may find yourself remembering good times with ...
