I do hope you all got home and found time to reflect and absorb all the great information that came from BRI 2023. Thank you to those who completed the evaluation. It holds great feedback that the Board and each Committee Chair is taking seriously.

The work for 2024 has begun and in response to the feedback, we are adding a day on the front end of the conference. Leading with Authenticity 2024 Conference will begin on Sunday afternoon July 21 and end on Thursday July 25, 2024. Please mark your calendar and stay tuned.

As recruitment is important for BRI, begin thinking about who needs BRI and share our mission. If you have a desire to join any of our working committees, please let me know.

It has been an exciting year for me as I approach my one year anniversary in November. Thank you Christina, our Past President, for guiding and supporting me in my new role. I am also grateful for the amazing Board of Directors who take our organization seriously and support me too.

Let me know if you need anything from me. Together, we will continue to lead BRI on a path of growth and thrive another 95 years of serving Community Executive Leaders. I hope to see many of you in the near future whether in person or on a Zoom.

With Gratitude,

—Allison
