President’s
Corner
Vicki Danielson, CDOA 2024 NADOA President
All I can say is……. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped in making this year’s NADOA Conference a Success. Yes, a Success!! I truly believe it was a Success!!
Back in January when the planning process began, I felt overwhelmed with all the things I wanted to include in this year’s conference. Residing in Houston I wanted to showcase a bit of the Oklahoma culture that I grew up with and expose those who had not been to Oklahoma. The Native American Indians were on my mind, and I just could not close out the conference without providing a taste of their culture. The Thursday night event was over the top. So much fun, with games, prizes, great food, in a relaxed atmosphere. The classes were well attended, so much so that we ran out of chairs in some and I apologize to those who had to stand. But I am grateful you went to class. Our Keynote speakers were amazing with the information they had to share. I am very pleased with how well everything was attended. This could not have been a success if it were not for the wonderful committee members and board members and all their hard work. It is now time to pass the torch to next year’s President, Kim Bowman. Kim has a great group of dedicated and hard-working individuals ready to get their feet on the floor and start planning the 2025 NADOA Institute in Boston. I am looking forward to another successful year for NADOA. I encourage all of you to volunteer and get involved, whether it be with NADOA or your local association. The rewards are great. Meeting new people, making new friends and opening all sorts of opportunities.
As the year ends, I wish you all a joyous holiday with your family and friends on Thanksgiving, and a blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
