Happy 2024, Friends!

Happy 2024, Friends!

The confetti has settled, and we're turning off all those Out-of-Office notifications to find ourselves standing at the threshold of a brand-new year. 2023 is now a memory, tucked away in the dusty corners of our minds, and before us lies the vast, uncharted territory of 2024.

As we step into 2024, let's carry a spirit of unity with us. Let's continue to be there for each other, to offer support and encouragement, and to celebrate each other's successes. Let's make this a year of greater collaboration, pushing boundaries, and exploring new horizons together.

Here are some professional/work-related resolutions I have for this year:

• Do a better job of setting boundaries between my work and personal life. This means not checking work emails after hours or on weekends.
• Using my PTO! I'm always waiting for a vacation to use my PTO, but I genuinely don't need a vacation for an off day.
• Presenting and Sharing my expertise more. Last year, I presented at TLCC Orlando, and it was a great experience. I'm looking to share my knowledge again in a workshop or conference setting this year.

I am excited to see what the future holds for our community. I do not doubt that, with your passion, your dedication, and your unwavering support, we can achieve incredible things together.

So, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you all a very happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. May 2024 be filled with joy, laughter, and the fulfillment of all your dreams.

Remember to share your New Year's resolutions and dreams with us in the comments below! We'd love to hear what you're hoping to achieve in 2024.

Cheers to a fantastic year ahead!
Corey L. Smith, one of your three co-chairs
