Greetings NENA Colleagues, I am excited and honored to be your NENA President. I am an Associate Professor of Tourism and Hospitality at the University of Southern Maine and focus my scholarship on sustainable tourism development. I have enjoyed many years of ICHRIE NENA membership and have benefited from the conferences and networking. I am fortunate to have an amazing and dedicated group of NENA Executive Committee members to work with this year. Together we look forward to serving you, our members, by continuing to provide valuable networking, educational, and research opportunities. We hope to welcome more colleagues from Canada as our NENA conference in April will take place in Portland, Maine (hosted by the University of Southern Maine) and this summer we will be in lovely (and cooler than Phoenix!) Montreal for the ICHRIE conference. We will continue to bring you the Rise and Grind Series and hope to see you all online with your coffee in hand. Please reach out with your ideas for helping our federation better serve your needs. Have a great year! Sincerely, Tracy Michaud Greetings, NENA Colleagues!Greetings NENA Colleagues!
