As we approach Thanksgiving this year, it would be difficult (and probably unwise) to ignore the possible changes and uncertainties that lie ahead. While inflation is slowing and fears of a recession are cooling, for many people, there are lingering worries that the economy may take a while to fully bounce back.
In just two-plus years, we have all experienced more change, more challenge, and more achievement than any of us could possibly have imagined. We have endured and emerged from a pandemic, thanks to science, some good fortune, and the goodwill of so many. We have witnessed – and been forced to acknowledge unspeakable injustices right here, in our own community and, thankfully, a growing number of us have begun to more deeply reflect, mobilize, and invest in real change. And we have all weathered a far-too-intense election season that, no matter how passionate our beliefs, has been exhausting.
For all of these things, and for all of you: our team members, our communities, our clients, and our candidates, we are thankful. As we look ahead, we trust that the future is, indeed, very bright – and that, even in moments of uncertainty, our gratitude for you all will encourage and sustain us.
