Letter from the President — Andy Zodin Dear Intermountain ProsAs I hit the homestretch of my third and final term as your president, I feel like I must take this opportunity to begin the process of thanking all of you for the support that you all have shown myself and the Board, for these last 6 years! The Intermountain Division of USPTA is currently in a very healthy (& well-respected) place, thanks largely to a group of 500+ professionals, spread out over a massive 6-state expanse. Our conferences have been well-attended, and our live events have been fun and creative. Most recently, Karl Jones and I did a green-ball junior pro-am, at Rolling Hills Country Club, that was a tremendous success, indicative of some of the collaborative work our division has become known for. And speaking of Karl, as your next incoming president, as of January 1st, I'm incredibly confident that he will continue to build on the momentum of Intermountain. Karl is polished, bright, and passionate. He is genuinely perfect for this role, and will be a tremendous steward of all of what is important to our association. So, while I/we still have some unfinished business (World Conference in September in Orlando & planning of our next divisional conference in February), I at least begin to tell all of you how appreciative I am, and how humbling it has been to serve in my current role. It has been an honor, and I thank you!
