Dear Fellow Colleagues,

1. Meet Echo the Mascot!   
In case you missed it, the 2028 Executive had a vision of a mascot that would elevate the conference logo and be a part of the branding fun for Vancouver.  After much thought and consideration, an orca with the name Echo was selected for the role!

3. Misson Statement and Values
We have taken international and national feedback and folded it into our conference mission statement and values. Please feel free to check out the slide and use at your discretion!
