Hello All! Well the winter is waning and spring will be upon us before you know it. I don't know about you all, but I am so ready for spring. This has been a very long and snowy winter. It won't be long before the birds have returned, the trees have budded, flowers bloomed and the grass turns green. Spring is a time of renewal. It is a time of hope and rebirth. I hope that you can all find time to get out and enjoy this new weather and new season. You owe it to yourselves to set aside some time to do just that. Enjoy!

As for IAODAPCA, I know that Bill and Jessica and all of the great staff have been working hard to get this year's Spring Conference in place for all to enjoy. They have also been working on developing new services and credentials in order to satisfy a changing field. This year will bring forth some new changes. There will be a computerization of the CADC credential. This will certainly speed up the process and make it more convenient for all of us.

I would like to take a moment to thank the staff at IAODAPCA. They have been through some tough challenges this winter with health concerns and such. I am so impressed that they managed to keep things running so smoothly and efficiently that most of us couldn't tell. They have quite a system and one heck of a work ethic. Kudos to you all!

Well that's it from me. By the time you read this, we will have met in Itasca and I hope you all have good memories of the week, some new friends and a lot of new information. Have a great spring and keep doing that great work that you do each and every day. You are appreciated!
