A Letter from the WACUBO President
Ruth Johnston
Strategic Chief Financial Officer
New Mexico State University
Happy New Year! I hope you and your families were able to enjoy a restful break, holiday celebration, and have some fun, despite this continuing pandemic. Here’s to great hopes for the beginnings of a recovery and a return to more in-person opportunities at work and school as the year moves along. I am looking forward to a vaccine, as well as figuring out how differently we will work and thrive in the future.
We are busy with WACUBO activity and hope you are excited about our upcoming professional development opportunities. Registration for our first-ever virtual annual conference will open in a few weeks, and we are trying something new!
