Hi everyone, 

In just a few days 2023 will leave us, and 2024 will be upon us. During the time between Christmas and New Years some of us are taking a much needed break, some are catching up on things and getting ready for the New Year, and some of a little bit of both. 
Me, I am in the last category mostly, but one of the things I try to do is note a few of the highlights from the year, both from a professional and personal viewpoint.

So here were the big things from 2023:

• Representing the CSINext Chapter and presenting at the National Conference in Minneapolis - always an honor to share knowledge ideas, and feedback from your industry peers
• Watching the footprint, capability, and impact of CSINext grow every month
• Experiencing the energy our newest young professional CSI members have for this organization - we are in a good spot for the the future
• Alaska is truly "The Last Frontier" - what amazing people, culture, and land that state has. And moose....moose are VERY large animals!
• Practicing authentic leadership continues to be an amazing personal journey
• The value of family, friends, and good neighbors can never be underestimated

So what are your highlights from 2023? 

Happy New Year everyone - see you in 2024!
Mark
