*Message sent from a system outside of UConn.* The NEARC Board wants to wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season. This has been another challenging year for all of us, and we know many of us are looking forward to 2022. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the last year. 2021 was a virtual year for the NEARC community, but we came together like never before. Hundreds of you showed up to both our Spring and Fall virtual conferences. We had so many fantastic presentations, workshops, posters, social events, and ESRI sessions. Thank you again to everyone that participated in these events. We cannot do it without you! Thank you also to the hundreds (over 700!) who registered for and attended our NEARC Community Events over the year<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.northeastarc.org%2Fcommunity-events-past.html&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cc64e875da4d640e13a1208d9c589826c%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637758016660552620%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=igp8XgV8Tiw16ihV4AjGPoMRqf75PzLFPf0pJkPOxAM%3D&reserved=0>!
