Thank you to all of our members who submitted a design in our new logo contest. We had over 30 submissions, and it was incredible to see the creativity and variety of designs our members came up with.

Our Executive Assistant, Gail McMahon, was the only person who knew the identities of those who submitted a logo design. Gail provided all submissions to our Pubs and Marketing Committee, who reviewed them and presented the Executive Board with the top five logos. At our Executive Board meeting on December 9, the Board voted on our new official logo, which will be revealed in January 2026. New year, new logo!

I was honored to present a for $1,000 to our winner Conner Ellinghuysen of Buena Vista University. We’re excited to officially reveal the new logo in January 2026.

I want to take a moment to wish happy holidays to all of our members. There are so many dedicated professionals doing meaningful work, and I’m grateful to work alongside you. Over the holiday break, take some time to unplug, slow down, and truly be present with your loved ones. Hold your people a little closer, soak in the moments that matter most, and give yourself permission to rest. The work will be there when we return, but these moments won’t!
