Happy New Year! As we close out 2021, I’m filled with a sense of accomplishment for the goals I’ve fulfilled in my work and personal life, but a little emotional for the events that filled my life with joy and pride. I’m not one to wish away the years, but I think we can all agree that we’ll be relieved to see America grow out of the restraints of COVID and political challenges. We have a pile of work to do before we get back to “normal”, but we are resilient. We’ve survived many attacks on our industry and have continued to grow stronger. We haven’t faced our last hurdle, by any means, but will carry what we’ve learned from the battles we’ve won into 2022 with an increased fervor!
When asked if I would fill the role of NASGW Chairman, I accepted with little hesitation. NASGW has been led the last 3 years by someone I previously only knew by her father’s reputation in the industry. But I will tell you, I’ll be following in the footsteps of greatness after the job Laurie Aronson has done. But she, Kenyon and the entire team that runs this organization have set the new cornerstone to the building that we at NASGW will build upon. |
