Sydney and Sarah, now that the ACHS 2026 Convention is in the rearview mirror, I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional and unreasonable hospitality you extended to our group of honor society leaders. From Huey Long’s ghost telling colorful jokes and entreating us to be your guest, to the lovely luncheon at the Capitol steeped in history, you created fond and powerful memories that our members will share for years to come. You have set the gold standard for all other CVBs.Marianne Fallon, PhD, CNP | 2026 Association of College Honor Societies Annual Conference
