Warmest Greetings of Love, Joy and Confidence to you and your family. And as the curtains draw on 2020, we are abundantly grateful for keeping us all safe and knowing that we are there for one another. With the Covid-19 Pandemic, we have been through a historic reality and we emerged winners in many ways. Let us acknowledge our resilience and immunity to disaster. The IODA Virtual Conference, in October 2020, reconfirmed the desire of our members to see each other, dialogue, reflect and stay connected. Our IODA promise is to remain in touch and united with the use of technology for us to communicate and bond. And as the world gets safer in the form of multiple Covid-19 vaccines, we hope to meet in person and relive the good times that were interrupted this year. THE IODA WEBSITE – YOUR SUPPORT NEEDED The IODA website is being revamped with the primary objective of enhanced member connection, and ease of access to information and events. To take these website plans forward, we need your support. And what better time than the end of the year with the festive season that makes us all so generous and kind! We appeal to you, our network, to support IODA financially, helping to revamp the website. This is completely voluntary and there is no amount too small for the case and the intention to help. We thank you! Support here and DONATE TODAY LOOKING AHEAD The initiatives and programming that have been planned for 2021 will further strengthen IODA’s position in the OD world and embrace more cultures and communities of like-minded people. SAVE THE DATE: Hopefully seeing many of you in person during the 3rd OD World Summit in Bangkok | Thailand, October 15 – 17, 2021. Please watch for news of the rescheduled World Summit as hybrid conference. Wishing you Happy Holidays and a healthy 2021! The Executive Committee |
