Dear Friends:

I wanted to take a moment to thank you. After making the decision earlier this week to cancel our events, we received an outpouring of positive messages and support from so many of you. Your kindness and understanding at this time mean more than we can express.

Our community has always been strong and incredibly generous, but this week, we were reminded of just how strong our bonds are. From those of you who donated your registration fees and gala tickets back to us, to our longtime sponsors who reached out to ensure their sponsorship could be used to offset our expenses and to fund the transition of some conference content to a virtual format, we cannot thank you enough.

Believe me when I say every kind note, every offer to make a presentation available, every donation, and every phone call has been gratefully received. We are truly humbled, and we are honored to have you as friends and supporters.

My warmest regards,

Kirk Adams signature
