Dear AADO Family,

Guess what?!!! I have officially announced my retirement. Yes indeed, effective January 1, 2022, I will retire from Georgia Tech after 25 years. It has been a wonderful and rewarding career and leaving is bittersweet.


What's next you ask? Well....so much! We will announce the new AADO national board very soon as well as my official role with AADO. And we will unveil new programming, ally opportunities, regional conferences and much much more!

Get ready everyone - we are taking AADO to the next level!!

Be well,

Birgit
