<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Friday! Due to low registration and presentation proposals, the OK-AIR executive board has decided to postpone the Fall 2019 conference until Spring 2020. We are doing research on the date and location for the conference and will
have more details very soon. We will be moving the meeting back to the central part of the state in the hopes that we are able to get more registrations and presentation proposals. As soon as we have the details, we will be back in touch about the conference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those of you who have already registered, Jackie Oram, our treasurer will be in touch soon.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the couple of you who have submitted a presentation proposal, we hope that you’ll plan to present again in the Spring.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We apologize for any inconvenience this change might cause you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any of our board members.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
