GREETINGS FROM THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING CHAIR

Greetings, SEMC Members!

It was so great to see many of you in person or online for the 2021 conference. For those that attended the conference in person, members enjoyed the opportunity to visit Chattanooga’s various museums, engage in conversations around the halls, visit with vendors, or enjoy some time out on the town. Both in-person and virtual attendees participated in a robust series of sessions, workshops, meetups, and had the chance to network through the Pheedloop platform. It was great to be together and part of our first ever hybrid conference!

I hope you will join me in thanking our Executive Director, Zinnia Willits, our Communication & Membership Services Manager, Carla Phillips, the SEMC Council, the 2021 Program Committee and Co-Chairs Michelle Schulte and Beth Hoover-DeBerry, all the 2021 program speakers, host committee, Expo Hall participants, and of course our wonderful sponsors. Thank you all for your participation! Finally, thank you to all our members for their support of SEMC. You are the reason we are here, and we hope this conference provided needed professional development and a chance to network with colleagues and friends.

We look forward to sharing more details on the #SEMC2022 conference in Northwest Arkansas and I hope to see you there. In the meantime, please accept my best wishes for a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year!

Sincerely, — Matt Davis, SEMC Vice President
