By nature, we are a group of professionals that do not seek out fame or applause but we all know that we do deserve it, and what better way to start receiving that recognition than by receiving it from your peer group of professionals. There are some very worthy individuals out there that deserve this award and we need to get back on track with recognizing this award on an annual basis. Enjoy the rest of the “dog days of summer� because the summer days go by way too quickly. So I am off to the pool with the kids and some neighborhood friends, as the weather is perfect outside!!
