| Greetings all,
As you may imagine, there are very few dedicated educational events happening over these last two weeks of the year, so this will be our last listserv update of 2021. There are, however, a few key things on the calendar to look forward to in early 2022, so please keep reading. We wish you all a safe and healthy holiday season!
