Summer is on the way!
I hope everyone has had a nice spring and is getting ready for the start of summer! I know I’m looking forward to getting out and trying to do a little bit of traveling this summer.
Just a reminder that materials from the 2021 Annual Conference are still available! You can access both the educational session and exhibit booths until August 20, 2021. Just use the same Pathable link and log-in information to access the conference site and materials.
CSMFO will hit another milestone this June. It looks like the South San Joaquin Valley chapter will be the first in-person chapter meeting in quite some time. We hope to provide a highlight on this “new” in-person experience in the upcoming month.

In addition to other content, the Communications Committee is also aiming to receive some feedback on CSMFO News. You will notice a “Did You Find This Article Helpful” feature at the bottom of articles of CSMFO News. If you get a chance, please take the time to rate how helpful you found an article. We hope to use this feature as well as an informal survey to gauge reception to the content we put out through CSMFO News and if we are meeting CSMFO member’s needs.
Finally, Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there! I hope as things start to go back to “normal” we all get a chance to spend some time with loved ones. Enjoy the official start of summer!
As always, feel free to reach out with any article ideas, spotlights, or comments to communications@csmfo.org.
