It’s been a great year everyone! We’ve worked so hard to recover from the pandemic and move forward together with BPA. I would like to thank everyone for being there to help us with this long and difficult journey, but here we are! State Leadership Conference is next week, and the next State Executive Council will be elected there. To the candidates, good luck and have fun with your campaigns, to everyone else, make your voices heard! 

On a separate note, I would like to say farewell to everyone and have a great rest of the year. It’s been wonderful being able to serve on the state council this year and I look forward to seeing what Oklahoma BPA accomplishes in the future. This year, we’ve done a lot to help prepare us for the future, whatever it may hold. We’ve learned so much from the pandemic, and from this experience, we’ve been able to grow as an organization. We have the ability to go online in the case of another outbreak or pandemic (although hopefully we never have to again).

 State Leadership Conference is so close, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all there! I’m going to be competing in the Financial Analysis team, which will be my chapter’s first time sending a team to compete! From small accomplishments in local chapters to large improvements on a statewide scale, this year has been a complete success for Oklahoma BPA and our members. 

Its been great, but now is the time to say farewell and have a great time at State Leadership Conference. It’ll be a blast, so I look forward to seeing you all there. Thank you all for being there to help support me as I served my term on the State Executive Council, but It’s time to say farewell.
