Greetings from a very hot Arizona where every day seems to set a record in terms of highest recorded temperatures. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and is excited as the year continues its rapid advancement towards our annual meeting. As you would have seen on our website, the SRU annual meeting program has been finalized, and I suggest everyone complete their registrations and hotel room bookings before we run out of the allotted rooms at concession rate. I am happy to report that the corporate support for the meeting has been greater than ever, and this helps our society tremendously.
