      <title>Thank you to all who attended the 2025 CSSP Fall Conference!</title>

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-size: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 22px;"&gt;Freedom and the Right to Thrive!!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;We had perfect weather and a record number of attendees who attended professional development sessions on a range of topics. The annual fish bowl raffle was a blast and raised several thousand dollars for student scholarships and early career mini-grants. A special thanks to our invited speakers, including&amp;nbsp;Caroline Buzanko,&amp;nbsp;Claudine Miles,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;Keygan Miller, Jessica Sprick,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=""&gt;and our keynote speaker,&amp;nbsp;Tania Chairez.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
