6th Annual DSP Recognition Event

 This
event was a HUGE success. A day set aside just for DSPs! Xenos Center was full of energy and excitement. It was a great feeling just looking around the conference room and seeing DSPs from all over the state come together to celebrate in their honor.
The OADSP Board and DSP Council would like to express our sincere THANK YOU
for all that you do! DSPs truly "Make Happy Happen!" Your work is appreciated more than you will ever know. We hope that you walked away from the event feeling encouraged, refreshed, appreciated, and cared for, because that is exactly what you do for others
on a daily basis. Thank you again to all of the DSPs! You are amazing!
