<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I wanted to share an interesting vendor interaction I had at MLA. When speaking with a vendor, they mentioned that they heard UNYOC was going to be, no more. And I was taken aback because I thought that
was internal board information and while I found it disconcerting for a vendor ask me, what I was more concerned about is - did they ask other UNYOC members who were at MLA who have no clue about it yet??!! Something random to add to my already long list
of worries, over which, I have no control.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I told him that we were simply in a investigative stage, and some general/standard membership woes – and said that nothing was decided. But I didn’t know if others had a similar experience?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">And to ask everyone to hold this close until we have the chance to speak with our membership – and for NAHSL to speak with their membership too – because I don’t think they have spoken with their membership
either. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hopefully I was the first and only UNYOC person to have this vendor interaction/conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
