… and Santa has been noting who’s been naughty or nice! Those in the Industry who have been building up their part – whether in finance, communities, manufacturing, retail, supply, marketing and sales, design and advertising, public relations, legislation or advocacy of any sort, deserve the rewards of their good work and good will. You are like the yeast that causes the dough to rise and become bread, the light that shines in the darkness to guide and inspire others.
What New Year’s Resolutions will you be making? The Industry pros who contribute to the Industry Voices Guest Blog or the Feature Articles are all gifting you with information, practical steps and resources to enter the New Year with confidence and enthusiasm, to transform the thinking, tackle those projects, make those changes that will create the success you desire and bring attractive affordable housing to the millions of Americans who want to own their own home. “I’ll be home for Christmas” could have such a different meaning if everyone worked together to do their part!
Do you hear what we hear? Special recognition goes to Industry member, LifeStylist® Suzanne Felber, whose talents include a recently-completed project with the NAHB on The New American Home 2011 in Orlando, Florida. Be sure to read her new Feature Article to learn what other bridges she is building to reach beyond Industry borders to draw more attendees to shows such as the upcoming Louisville Show.
