On behalf of the executive board, we will work tirelessly to foster your investment in the association and do everything possible to make our mission reflect your values in terms of providing excellent resources, education and advocacy on your behalf as it relates to serving your families and serving you in a changing regulatory landscape. We are living in a topsy-turvy and seemingly upside‑down world, it seems some days. Here is a little humorous anecdote to leave you with. Our intrepid Executive Assistant Terri James arrived in Jacksonville on a Saturday, only to have her luggage arrive 24 hours later. Upon her departure, not one, but two flights were canceled on the same day. As a word to the wise, never book a flight if Terri is on it! What a trooper she is, and we’re grateful for her excellent service. Just don’t let her pick your Bingo numbers. I’m proud to be representing you, and we are all part of the MFDA family.
