Good morning, everyone.

I know it's been quite a while since you heard from me. I merely wanted to update everyone and let them know that I am still alive and doing quite well. Earlier this year, I accepted a position with the Ohio Restaurant Association to serve as the organization's Director of Communications.

In this role, I serve as the primary media contact, creator/director of all print publications, editor of press releases, e-mail blasts, event announcements and other various tasks. My work on behalf of NALTEA has proved most beneficial to me as I've embraced this new role. It goes without saying that I miss interacting with all of you on a daily basis, but this career seems to be a better niche for me as it allows me to get out from behind the desk and interact with our members throughout the state and the nation. 

In the short time that I've been on board at the ORA, I've been able to travel to Florida, Rhode Island and throughout the great state of Ohio. It's been very rewarding, and I find myself growing as a professional every day. 

I hope all of you are doing well. If you'd ever like to chat and catch up, please feel free to shoot me an e-mail at ja_clabaugh@yahoo.com. Although I miss the days of researching title insurance rules and regs, I am very happy where I am now and I hope all of you are, as well.

Warmest regards,
Jarrod
