One year ago it seemed as though the term “the new normal,” was flying around constantly. The world was thinking about what post-pandemic life would look like. What things would change? How do businesses operate post-pandemic? Little did we know post-pandemic life would be much further away than many originally thought.
As I book flights and hotels for upcoming industry events, (my brand new luggage set I bought last February will finally see the world) I can’t help but reflect on where we were last March, April and May. So much has changed. We have learned, adapted and found silver linings through all of this, all while individuals and businesses have experienced a lot of loss and hurt. The resiliency and growth is especially evident to me as we prepared this issue, specifically the annual Premier 150 list.
