As we wrap up fiscal year (FY) 2020, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the staff of NCMRR for their incredibly hard work under difficult circumstances this year. It is remarkable to note that we have just passed the 6-month mark of fully remote work. I miss the in-person interactions and look forward to the time we can be back together safely.
