Hello DLF Community! It’s March, which means spring is around the corner (finally!), and it’s a great time for new growth. To that end, Forum planning is well underway for the virtual event this fall, and the DLF Groups are hard at work planning fantastic meetings and events for 2026. Additionally, I’m excited to share a bit of my own news: I’m transitioning to a new role at CLIR, Community Development Officer, that will help me support our community from a new angle. You’ll still have an amazing leader in Shaneé, stellar conference support from Concentra, and I certainly won’t be a stranger. As always, my
inbox
is open if you want to connect, send pet pictures, or have ideas about how you’d like to see our community grow in the coming months and years. See you around soon!
