Colleagues,
You may have noticed that the Monday Morning Post hasn’t gone out for a while. With no chapter assistant, it’s been difficult to keep up with a weekly newsletter on top of everything else. I’ll still make sure you get timely updates about workshops and benefits from UUP Central as they come in.
