Great! Thanks for confirming and welcome aboard. Will you be at the TSA Convention? If so, I will be spending time at SU on Saturday, April 5th, with OC members to work on any planning issues they may have for the ICS. I'm not announcing this publically so we can focus on getting things done and not leading a tour. On Sunday I will lead a general tour for TSA. You're welcome on either or both days.
