PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear SOCOEM Family,

I hope you enjoyed the final weeks of summer and preparing for a busy fall. It was wonderful to see so many of you at AOHC, and especially gratifying to connect in person with members I had not previously met.

Although summer may seem quiet, our team has been working diligently behind the scenes to develop an outstanding educational program for our Fall Conference in New Orleans at the end of October. I look forward to seeing you there and sharing an update on the progress SOCOEM has made through our collective efforts.
