Message from the President
Dear ASHHRA Colleagues, Happy New Year and welcome to 2021. I am excited to take on my role as ASHHRA President as we kick-off the year of hope and change. 2020 was a year of adjustments and transformation, but through this time we have been able to stand strong, build alliances and support each other through this pandemic. The road to recovery is promising but I am confident we will get through this together. As we prepare for this year, I want to reassure our members that ASHHRA is here for you and your needs.
