I hope this message finds you well as we’re transitioning to those cold nights and cooler days. It was amazing to see so many of you at NYCOM Fall Training School in Lake Placid a few weeks ago. The scenery was beautiful! If you were able to attend, I hope you found the conference to be extremely informative and beneficial to connect with fellow Clerks. If you couldn’t attend this year or have never attended, I urge you to budget for it next year. It’s truly a stellar conference that has a huge education component, as well as giving you opportunities to connect, learn and grow from your colleagues.
