Hello Chris,

Thank you!  It was an honor to receive the Tom Davis award.  I also enjoyed catching up with Tom afterwards.   I attached a picture from the AOCC awards ceremony.

Hi Jake



Congratulations on the Tom Davis Outstanding Mentor Award. So well-deserved! Sorry I couldn't be there to see it in person as I had too many ACA meetings!



Tom, thanks for everything. You are the best mentor of all!!



Kind regards

Chris
