THANK YOU! 

Thank you to all who attended the 77th Annual Meeting and Fall Conference this last weekend in St Cloud MN. I hope you found it to be educational and informative. We had some GREAT presenters and a magical entertainer! If you were not able to join us this year, make sure you save the date for next year! Our magician will be with us again for more entertainment, laughs and education. The 78th MSRT conference will be held in Red Wing MN at Treasure Island Resort, Sept 30th/Oct 1st 2016.

Special thanks to JoAnn Swiggum for her years of service on the executive board, and planning this years conference. Thank you to the conference planning committee for all the time, energy and effort it takes to organize this conference.  I look forward to working with current board members and  the newly elected members and committee chairs. 

Please reach out to any of the board members if you have any questions, comments, concerns or if there is anything you would like to see us work on or improve. We welcome any and all feedback from our MSRT members.

It is truly an honor,

To All Members
