Highlights from our discussions include:
- Advancement in our By-Laws review and records retention policy.

- Positive updates on membership growth and increased usage of the ESCA Badge Program.
I commend each of our Board members on their dedication and contributions to our association’s ongoing success.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to provide a sneak peek at our upcoming Summer Educational Conference. We’ve finalized themes, schedules, and engaging activities to ensure a rewarding experience for all attendees. The conference promises to be a platform for learning, networking, and shaping the future of our industry. Mark your calendars for June 23 – 26, and join us at the breathtaking Omni Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Virginia.

ESCA Green Message
Embarking on a sustainable journey begins with a single step, no matter how small. Each eco-friendly choice, from reducing plastic usage to conserving energy, contributes to a brighter future for our planet. Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Start small, but start today, and together, we can make a meaningful difference for future generations.
This month, we’re inviting you to take on our sustainability challenge: evaluate your energy usage and consider making the switch to LED lights and CFL lightbulbs. Not only do these alternatives last longer but they significantly reduce energy consumption, effectively reducing your carbon footprint.
