Message from the President
Dear ASHHRA Colleagues, Happy November! As we hustle into the 2020 holiday season, we recognize it will be a holiday season the likes of which we have never seen. My family, like many others, is trying to figure out where, how and if we are going to have family gatherings with the pandemic rearing its angry head just in time for the holidays. With all we have been through this year — COVID, masks, social distancing, shuttering businesses/restaurants, contentious elections — we’re due for a break. It’s not looking like we’ll be getting one, though.
