Commercial Integrator reposted this
Thanksgiving is a reminder that year's end is nearly upon us, but it also serves as a welcome occasion to reflect on all we're grateful for. I look toward the long weekend full of gratitude for you, my work fam. ❤️ It's a privilege to steward Commercial Integrator and Security Sales & Integration, and I'm immensely grateful to Emerald for giving me opportunities to grow during my three years (and counting!) with our organization. Sometimes, this work is tough, but I've been richly rewarded with opportunities to elevate the CI brand to new heights while, at the same time, learning the #electronicsecurity industry and bringing a fresh perspective to the storied SSI brand. Most of all, it's fun to wake up every morning and have an opportunity to collaborate, strategize and share with -- not to mention learn from -- Amala Reddie, Alyssa Borelli, Craig MacCormack, Arlen Schweiger and ROBIN HATTERSLEY. The #Emerald Content Division attracts the best talent in B2B journalism, and all five are Exhibits A. 🎉 I also want to thank #avtweeps near and far. You're the industry family that I never expected would so enrich my life. During 14-some business trips this year, we shared so many laughs, hugs, #avselfie photo ops, candid conversations and moments of reflection. Thank you for being there for me over the past 12 months. And know that I'm a text, call or DM away -- on Thanksgiving and every day. Special mention goes to some of my tightest circle: Alesia Hendley, Megan A. Dutta 💜, Mark Delguidice, CTS, Christie Mitchell, Steve Greenblatt, CTS, Brittany DiCesare, CTS, Mark Coxon, Christopher Neto CTS, Charmaine Torruella, Gina Sansivero, Joseph Chordas, Carrie Garcia, Alex Fortin, CTS, DMC-E-4K, DSCE, Kristin Bidwell, Bill Fons, Joe' Lloyd, Jennifer Weaver, Xzavia Killikelly, CTS, DSCE, DCME, NOMA, Patty K. Hashmi Wanzer, Chris Whitley, Emily Magrish, David Danto, Renee Benson, Allison Mandara, John Henkel, Tim Bigoness, Sandi Stambaugh, Greg Schwartz and FAR too many others to tag. (If you weren't tagged, blame LI's blasted limits!) I wish everyone a happy, healthy Thanksgiving. Unplug, disconnect from tech, and reconnect with family and friends. During the holiday season and every day, remember that THEY are the reason we #RiseandGrind all year long. #Gratitude #Thanksgiving2024 #ThankYou
