Hello to all my fellow CAPFAA colleagues.  I hope this finds you well.  I would like to start by thanking all the members who volunteered their time and efforts last year whether it was to serve on a committee or present a session at a training event.  Working with such a dedicated group, was such a joy!  I also want to thank all the directors, supervisors and decision makers who volunteer and/or allow their staff to lend their time and talents to CAPFAA.  I know how busy it is in your offices, yet, you take the time to give back to our profession.  As I am sure you have experienced, you gain so much more than you give.  You are all so appreciated in both what you do for the students we serve and the profession we have chosen.
