Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] All the best for a happy New Year

 

As I sit down to write this message this morning, I am filled with hope for
the New Year. I have been reading the annual reports as they come in. While
many acknowledge the challenges they have faced, the overriding tone is one
of positivity about what has been accomplished. I am reading stories of how
communities have come together to support downtown, local businesses, and
each other. We have mourned both the community loss of a favorite business
as well as the personal loss of beloved friends or family members, including
for me the loss of my mother. Through all this, we have demonstrated amazing
resiliency and creativity. In the face of business loss, we see new
entrepreneurs choosing our downtowns as a place to set up shop. We see
property owners choosing now as the time to invest in building improvements.
We see local governments quickly approving uses of public spaces and
deploying financial assistance in support of downtown businesses. We see
events being re-imagined to follow safety guidelines while sharing the joy
of our communities. We see barriers breaking down and new partnerships being
formed. We see our Network coming together and sharing information,
supporting each other, and lifting each of us up. We see our amazing
executive directors giving so generously of their time and hearts on behalf
of the community. My thanks to each and everyone of you for all the good you
do and the difference you are making. 

 

All the best for a Happy New Year.

 

With my deepest gratitude,

Sheri
