Greetings ESA Members,

It’s hard to believe that in just a few weeks we’ll be joining ISD and FPDA for the 2022 Industry Summit in Snowmass Village, Colorado. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues and forging new friendships with the Colorado Rockies as a beautiful backdrop.

It’s not too late to register if you haven’t done so already. There’s so much to look forward to beyond the mountain vistas. There are great speakers who will touch upon issues we all face in our businesses: building the right team, supply chain logistics, enhancing cybersecurity, and using strategic pricing. The summit concludes with what will be an enlightening look into the economy in 2023 and beyond.

On top of that, there’s the Supplier Showcase and multiple other networking opportunities that will help you generate new leads and make new partnerships. Personally, I am excited about our ESA dinner on the evening of October 3. We’ll have a silent auction to raise money for our scholarship program. I want to thank our auction item donors in advance for their support.

I sincerely hope everyone enjoyed their summer and had a safe start to the new school year. See you in a few weeks.

All the best,

Chris Johnson
