REFLECTIONS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Howard Cook

T he holidays are once again upon us. While we know they come around the same time each year, it still comes as a bit of a surprise that yet another year is coming to an end. It's at this time of year that we gather with our families and friends and immerse ourselves in fellowship and our long-held traditions. It Is also a time of reflection. So let's reflect on 2019. As an Association, we have accom- plished much. We have continued

OFFICER RESILIENCY, SAFETY & WELLNESS LEADERSHIP FORUM

to live up to our Mission of "Impacting communities by providing and promoting law enforcement leadership through training and networking" by holding many Chapter retrainers and social events for our members and the law enforcement community. Thousands of attendees gathered at our national training conference and leadership forums and also joined us digitally through our train- ing webinars. Additionally, we continue to be on the forefront of providing resources for officer resiliency with our Comprehensive Officer Resilience Program and relationship with Below 100 . We grew and became stronger through the sharing of ideas in this incredible network of law enforcement leaders. I have said numerous times when I joined with you at Chapter events that membership is the lifeblood of the FBINAA. I would like to take this moment to thank all of you for your involvement in the FBI National Academy Associates and your numerous contribu- tions to our Association as a whole and to your Chapter. Whatever this time of year means to you and your families, I wish you peace, prosperity and all the blessings this season has to offer as we leave 2019 and move toward all the possibilities of 2020.
