A Note From the
Executive Director
Each year, in July, we release an Annual Report detailing our activities and progress over the last year. This year, there will be a slight delay in the release of our 2022-2023 Annual Report. The delay is due to a necessary transition to a new accounting software. As a result of this transition, we have adjusted our timeline for the release of the Annual Report. We understand the importance of transparency and accountability, and we are committed to providing you with the most accurate financials in the report.
We are pleased to announce that the revised release date for the 2022-2023 Annual Report is September 20th, 2023. The report will be shared with the membership via this newsletter, ensuring that all members have access to the information simultaneously. Our goal is to deliver a comprehensive and accurate Annual Report that reflects our financial performance, participation statistics, and overall impact. Thank you for your continued support and engagement! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at ragan.snead@neo.rls.org. Have a great day! Ragan |
