What a star-spangled time it’s been “Here, There, and Everywhere” in Omaha, Nebraska. The joys of bringing friendships together for the very first time for so many, while others enjoyed reuniting with acquaintances from around the world. Engaging in the ever-growing possibilities and prospects of what the future holds from staff reports, scholarship recipients, partnering sponsors and our president’s message of kindness that connect us each day. The excitement of traveling for miles to those city tours, harmonious screams to those daily sessions that kept the skywalk busy. Various intriguing topics that piqued your interest to invoking dialogue that impacted us for better resolve.
Like a sponge, we came ready to soak up so much knowledge so that we can better advocate and serve not just ourselves, but this organization and our communities. Talks of transportation to technology, conversations on critical race theory to choosing where to live when aging, information sharing on Medicare to mentorship, educational teachings for gadgets to guide dogs and so much more. Be sure to stay tuned to ACB Media for future podcasts of some of those sessions. Salute to everyone that took part in planning, attending, facilitating or string take this year’s annual conference and convention a hybrid success. Until the next time, when we meet in Schaumburg, Illinois, but for now we’ll see you on the other side of August.
