We have all been through so much change and growth together this year.  We are emerging as a community that is stronger than ever, and we understand that we have to rely on each other to make change. I want to take a moment to give “thanks” to all of you for your support this past year.

 I know that many of us are eagerly waiting for a new year and a fresh start; I find myself thinking of the last several months and feeling proud and humbled by the incredible things we made happen for our community and our founders.

 Together, we have built on our collective strengths. We have solidified foundations for the future and energized transformation and innovation by approaching 2022 and its challenges from a position of strength and with a mindset of how we can make an even more significant impact.

 In the face of change and challenge, I encourage you to find the passionate commitment to see opportunities where others see roadblocks. To be unafraid of trying new things and getting uncomfortable. Growth can only come from change, and 2021 asked many of us to change in ways we could never anticipate. I believe that 2022 will do the same, and how you respond and adapt to that change makes all the difference.

 Enjoy the holiday season ahead, and from all of us at North Forge, I wish you and all those close to you a happy and healthy holiday season and New Year!
