APRIL 2023

President’s Message

Onyebuchi Arah

Happy April! Hopefully, you and yours weathered well whatever extreme weather came your way—be they atmospheric rivers with nearly incessant rain, feet of snow, or sweltering heat. We ordered excellent June weather without any warranty to befit our 2023 Annual Meeting in Portland.
