a mid-winter conference. However, as requested by you, our membership, MFDA will be holding its five in-person district meetings again in the Spring of 2024. Tyson Moore, Terri James and I will travel the state together and look forward to seeing you in person. We have penciled in the district meetings for May. Please visit the MFDA website regarding times, dates and locations. A 2024 schedule is also listed in this issue of the magazine. You may have already noticed our 2024 membership renewal notifications and information in your email inbox. Terri James emailed out those membership renewal notices the week of December 1. Starting after Thanksgiving, you should find the hard copies of our membership notices in your mailbox. I am pleased to report that the MFDA Board voted, once again, to keep 2024 membership dues at the same level have been since the year 2000. So when you receive your 2024 MFDA membership notice, we hope our efforts to tighten the Association’s spending belt while expanding member services and programs will be foremost on your mind. On behalf of the MFDA board and myself, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year. MFDA hopes that 2024 is the best year yet for you. We look forward to seeing you at the annual state convention to be held in June in Missoula or at one of the other live MFDA events. In the meantime, we encourage you to let us know if you have any questions about your membership or the benefits you received therefrom. Further, if there is anything ‘we’ can do to assist you or if there are additional benefits we can add that would be of service to your business, please let us know. Our goal is to help ensure that you have the resources to compete and thrive in today’s challenging business environment. Thank you for your support of the MFDA; and thank you for the underappreciated service you provide to Montana’s communities. You and your work are valued! Jim Brown, Esq.
