We have a truly remarkable online community here -- it is really hard to find any professional group with anything close. I certainly benefit from this professionally with the help that comes through it. I also benefit psychically, through the encouragement and the supporting attitudes of so many who participate. I know that I am not alone in this gratitude.
Our MOTMs annually build on this online community to provide us with a further sense of professional belonging that is so hard to find in this age of contracting and gigs where our daily work situations don't readily result in the psychic rewards we need to continue at our best. Some of this community-building simply can't be done solely online.
But MOTM 2021 will be only online, and we now have a program that we think will be as good a replacement as can be, given this constraint. It is a one-day conference followed by an education day with 2 topics to choose between. This will not be just an extended Zoom meeting; we are using some professional, experienced meeting services and some other features to make this more engaging and useful to you during those 2 days.
Early registration for this March 5-6 event is open now. The agenda and registration link on HL is here: https://bit.ly/2Jqet9k
While you celebrate a successful year for 90 Minds and give thanks to all those who helped make this possible, do spend some time thinking ahead on how you can increase the value you get from the community here. MOTM 2021 is part of it, committee participation can be another, and there are others. And longer-term is even better: we have nearly completed the selection of the MOTM 2022 site in Southern California.
I second Wayne's thank you to everyone who helped another member during this year, and to the sponsors who make this all possible!
