Thank you to those who participated in the nominations and elections process this year and thank you to those who served on the 2018-2019 Executive Committee, many of whom are returning for another term of service. We want to especially thank outgoing Executive Committee member Tana Feiner (WI). Her contributions to the TCN Executive Committee have been immeasurable.
 
We are looking ahead to first year of implementing the newly adopted 2019-2022 TCN Strategic Map; continuing to share and use the 2016 TCN Policy Recommendations and the TCN Interactive State Policy Map; and beginning new projects to provide you with timely information and resources. We will continue to provide key updates to you by email and in each twice monthly TCN News. In the meantime, please continue to reference the Welcome to TCN Video and the TCN Member Packet for more information about our Network, and don’t hesitate to reach out to tcn@astho.org with any additional questions.
