| Forward - A Message from PACA Chairman of the Board, Rod Martin |
|
I have reached out to you periodically to address key issues that impact our industry and Association. We have heard over and over how this is an unprecedented time for our nation, our businesses and our families. We all do our best to prepare for the worst, but the reality is that we got caught unprepared by the pandemic sweeping the entire planet.
We are an industry of entrepreneurs who are accustomed to economic cycles of highs and lows. We persevere and learn each and every time a challenge is presented. Our employees recognize the ups and downs and our families understand the string of 80-hour weeks followed by the calmness and quiet of wintertime. We adapt, adjust and transform each and every time. Similarly, our Association has evolved during the last three months to better serve our needs and continue to drive value to our members. We have adapted by offering more online events when in-person interaction was revoked by decree; we have adjusted our goals by focusing on improvements and efficiencies in our internal systems and online products; and, we have transformed our communications and engaged many state and national voices at our Members Forums so that we can better position our businesses during these unprecedented times.
No question. Our business, our employees, our families, our Commonwealth and OUR nation are faced with much uncertainty nowadays. Let’s not forget our strengths - that we are a nation of dreamers, believers and doers. We will move FORWARD because we are an exceptional people and industry.
Sincerely,
Rod Martin, Martin Stone Quarries, Inc.
PACA's Chairman of the Board
