Related to our key growth strategies in 2021, they are much like New Year’s Resolutions. We are not changing anything drastically from 2020 (and many key strategies were delayed as a result of the pandemic); we are just working to be the best version of ourselves! In closing, I am very passionate and committed to our ongoing support for our frontline colleagues, and moving forward in 2021 with our organizational goals. I encourage you to please continue to use all the resources you have so that your voice can be heard. Thanks again for your steadfast dedication to RMC and our community! Warm regards,
