 nline on April 8\, 2021&nbsp\;before joining the&nbsp\;12 hour GMID broadc

 nces\, conventions\, incentive travel\, trade shows and exhibitions have o
 n our industry. Meeting professionals across the world participate in this
  international day of advocacy.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\nThe worldwide outbreak of C
 OVID-19 brought on a lot of unexpected stress and adversity for many peopl
 e. It challenged us. It stretched us in so many directions we didn&rsquo\;
 t even know we could go. But we all responded to this unexpected stress an
 d hardship differently. Why? Resilience.\nDid you know that resilience is 
 not something we are born with? Over time\, individuals build up their res
 ilience through life experiences and resilience is created by how these li
 fe experiences interact with our unique\, individual genetic makeup.\nNova

 hrive when life is difficult and bounce back from anything.\nNova will sha
