Congratulations to all of the winners and to those that submitted for this prestigious award. Let’s continue celebrating. We need to celebrate successes in our industry as part of workforce development as this is just another way that can truly help the industry image. I tell the ACI staff all the time that it’s impossible to sit in the room with members, either in a meeting or event and not leave impressed. I can say that personally, I am continually blown away by the intelligence, dedication, caring and support ACI members provide not only through work with ACI, but as a whole in our community. ACI members accomplish so much for our community and that’s because we have dedicated leaders, who continue to grow and engage. Let’s continue adding to the industry’s future as we plan for and move into the new year.
