It is the twelfth and final month of the year and hosts the shortest day and longest night of the year. However, December was not always the 12th month. Before 153 BC, the Roman Calendar only had ten months. Hence “December” comes from the Latin word decem, meaning “ten”.
After a hectic year, we pause and reflect. 2022 marked our 20th birthday, the return of in-person trade shows, our first hosted community conference since the start of the pandemic, and many other events. 2022 was a significant year.
As we send out our last newsletter of the year, we want to express how grateful we are to have had the opportunity to help you through the many important milestones you’ve accomplished this year.
Read on to learn more about our November and December updates.

November conferences follow up
November was our busiest month for conferences. We had the pleasure of exhibiting and meeting clients at TAG2022 in San Antonio, Texas, marking the first time in nearly three years! We traveled to Michigan to exhibit at the Council of Michigan Foundation (CMF) for their milestone 50th annual conference. In EMEA, we attended the 2022 Association of Charitable Foundations (ACF) conference for the very first time.
