Happy Holidays! As I write this, Thanksgiving is almost here. The trees are bare, night comes earlier and already the twinkling of Christmas lights are glowing. As you read this, Thanksgiving will be over, and I hope you were able to be with loved ones, even if only virtually. 100 years ago, families did not have this luxury of technology…think of the love letters that were written back and forth during their pandemic.

As I sit here drinking my pumpkin spiced coffee, looking at the clear blue sky, and enjoying the brisk weather, I realize that fall has arrived, and with it comes the IMPACT 100 Annual Meeting. October is finally here! This is the most exciting time of year for IMPACT 100! This is a time to celebrate all the amazing things we’ve accomplished despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
