President’s Letter: Embracing the Spirit of April with EFBC
Dear EFBC Members,
Spring has sprung in Chicago, bringing with it a sense of renewal and inspiration for all. As we eagerly anticipate the Easter holiday later this week. Several golf courses have already opened!!!! Someone we know is getting a tax refund!!! We revel in the excitement of NCAA March Madness, we are reminded of the vibrant energy that surrounds us during this time of year. Additionally, the implementation of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations has ushered in a new era for women & men student-athletes, providing them with well-deserved financial rewards for their efforts both on and off the field.
