This will be my last biweekly of 2020 (I\u2019m going to skip over the one that would have come up right before the new year and give you a break!). The next biweekly should land in your inboxes around January 11. This week, we were also able to confirm our February meeting dates (February 3-4), which had been left as TBD before the pandemic while we determined whether we should do another DC advocacy trip or meet someplace in the west. Well, the pandemic proceeds apace (albeit with sure signs of optimism on the horizon), so this February meeting will be another virtual affair. Our May meeting is still a big virtual\/in-person question as well, but we\u2019ll be sure to keep you posted! Before we dive back in, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also have news of a biweekly innovation: starting this week, we\u2019ll also be including the whole WESTAF team on these biweeklies moving forward.
