"We listened more actively to our company leaders and associates in 2020 and 2021—we will move forward with greater transparency and understanding in 2022. We focused efforts on helping and feeding our community—we will be committed corporate citizens with renewed civic engagement. We strengthened bonds with our clients, venues, and vendors—we will be more thoughtful and proactive partners. If necessity is the mother of invention, then I think our industry is going to be more innovative than ever in 2022! We have learned to operate more efficiently, doing more than we ever thought possible with less of—well—everything. As supply chains gradually stabilize and prices (fingers crossed!) fall back to Earth, we will rebuild our companies, reenergize our workforces, and reignite our shared passion for all things hospitality. BRING. IT. ON."
