If you are stumped, may I suggest that you consider joining the SSD conference committee to help plan the July 22nd, 2022 conference at Timberline Lodge? Or become a Member at Large in charge of our social media? The commitment level is about 2-3 hours a month and then ideally to be present for the conference to support the event.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for passing this along if it doesn't speak toward your career goals at this time,</div><div><br></div><div>Your interim SSD chair,</div><div>Rinny</div><div><br></div><div>P.S.
