July 2020 --  I hope this month’s column finds you well. If you, like myself, are wondering where do we go from here, an optimistic view of life would be thankful for time to reflect on what’s important, thankful for having unjust societal issues brought to the forefront for change, and thankful that our industry becomes even more relevant as home is now also school, office, and oasis.

I think we trudge forward, continuing to educate ourselves on product offerings, lifestyle changes, and pursue our relevance in the marketplace. I am grateful to be a part of an industry and an organization with the ability to positively impact how people live. I am sorry to miss seeing you at the Summer Social this month. The cancellation is disappointing, but these times require a diverted path, and I look forward to continued success together as we work through these ever-changing circumstances.
