ASHHRA eNews Pulse: July 2022
 

Message from the President
Dear ASHHRA Colleagues,
 
Wishing you all a belated happy Independence Day! When the summer months begin, the truth of time flying is a constant reminder. As we continue to face the challenges of the new reality, we must take time to recharge and prepare for the second half of 2022. Six months until 2023, and I'm always wondering what I can do to meet either my personal or organizational goals in that timeframe.
