This year’s theme of Collaboration: Creating Connections that Count is NCURA REGION III CHAIR Justo Torres truly at the heart of what NCURA and Region III are all about. Yes, the North Carolina State University Spring Meeting is an opportunity to develop and expand our knowledge of an ever-evolving profession. Equally important, however, is to foster and renew our professional connections to one another. For, in the end, it is the professional relationships and personal friendships that we develop through NCURA that serve as a network of support long after we leave our sessions and discussion groups. Over the past year, the Executive Committee has continued our efforts to provide mentorship and training to our members. Please join us on Monday at lunch to recognize the first graduates of the NCURA Region III RAMP program. I also encourage you to meet the RAMP leaders to learn how you can be part of this mentorship program. I would like to thank the following, without whom this meeting would not be possible: our keynote speaker Dr. Stephen Leatherman (Dr. Beach), the Program Committee, the Planning Committee, the Workshop and Concurrent Session Presenters, the Discussion Group Facilitators, the volunteers, the sponsors, and each of you who came to attend sessions and network. Each person here, in any capacity, is essential to have a successful Spring Meeting and successful Region! So again, welcome to the 2019 Region III Spring meeting. While you are here, don’t forget that the sand and surf are your backyard. Learn and play!
