From the Governor
Happy January!
I hope this message finds you well, having enjoyed the holidays and New Year. It was great to see those in attendance at the TriService ACP meeting in San Antonio in September! We learned a lot, connected with friends and had the privilege of recognizing our colleagues with our 2024 Navy Chapter Awards. The podium competition was fierce, and the winners will present posters at the national meeting in April. Cheers to the Walter Reed Doctor's Dilemma team, who earned the opportunity to represent our chapter at the national competition in New Orleans.
