Summer vacation...what's that?
It’s that time of year when many on your campus are probably telling you to “Have a great summer!” It’s a nice idea, but we all know advancement work never really lets up, regardless of the season. Even if lounging by the pool isn’t in the cards on a daily basis, we hope summer feels a bit different to you and your colleagues. As we all emerge from the cocoon of the COVID-19 pandemic, taking stock, reflecting, and recognizing hard-earned achievements may be more a necessity than a luxury.
With that in mind, this issue includes a call for nominations for ICAA awards, a spotlight on the title sponsor of the 2021 Virtual Summer Conference, and last call for the ICAA member survey. Don’t miss your chance to share your insights and perspectives with us.
We look forward to hearing from you and serving you this summer with opportunities for professional development, networking, and celebration.
