As we approach the end of the year, I wanted to pause, share my gratitude for the incredibly important and difficult work you do in our community, and make sure you feel up-to-date on the
Chamber’s effort to address the homelessness crisis here in Eugene. One year ago, we had a huge influx of business leaders contacting the Chamber with a new level of urgency around the impact of the unhoused on their business. The issue seemed to have reached a crisis level and our Board agreed this should be our top priority. We knew if we wanted to be helpful, we were going to need to do our homework and become as informed as possible on this complex issue. So I came to all of you—over 150 stakeholders—and gathered your feedback, expertise and advice to put together The State of Our Homelessness Crisis report, released by our chamber in September. Your input was extremely valuable, and I hope you heard your voice represented in the report. We are excited to see that this report has helped galvanize a new level of interest and engagement amongst our business community and public. The past few months, we have been working on the key next steps from the report. To try and keep you all updated, here is a recap of our progress and next steps: 1. Business Leaders Task Force (BLTF). We launched this group, targeted at specifically bringing private sector business leaders together to help bring them up to speed and gather their input on how businesses may positively support this issue. We have had 2 meetings, and surveyed them about priorities. The effort is early, but we are inspired by the number of business leaders who want to be a part of the solution (nearly 100 on the roster). The first subcommittees we are launching are focused on data (see next bullet) and communications (to prepare for a public campaign in Q2—to bring transparency, opportunity for engagement, and hope around this issue). 2. Cost Study. Looking at the data we have access to (including the vastly improved Lane County data around individuals experiencing homelessness) and the missing data that would help us determine next steps, we have been in exploratory conversations about a cost study/analysis. We are not aiming to have another big lengthy report. We are targeting missing pieces to help us more strategically move forward, such as: how much money is being invested on this issue, where those funds are being spent, what is having impact, what gaps we have in services and funding and how (current and new) funds could be deployed moving forward. We would like this to be a resource for the entire community and a tool to again provide transparency and build confidence in our ability to reduce homelessness in Lane County. 3. Collective, Cross-Sector Conversation We heard loud and clear from partners and community members that there is a desire to have a cross-sector conversation to agree on shared goals and align around strategic actions to end homelessness—to have one community plan vs. the many plans/initiatives that we currently have. This effort is underway, but as you can imagine it is difficult to narrow all of the experts that should be at the table. We have continued to have critical meetings with service providers and public partners over the past few months. With the support of key leaders at the City and County as well as many service providers, we are in the midst of meeting with the business leaders (next mtg. Jan. 5), social sector (Jan. 6 + additional meetings), neighborhood associations (being scheduled), faith community (being scheduled), individuals with lived experience (being scheduled), philanthropy (in progress), government (multiple complete) to ask these groups to choose representatives to join a cross-sector conversation at the end of January. General Timeframe:
Thank you again for your input this past year, contributing to collective momentum that I’m confident will lead to progress in the coming year. I am so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. We are so lucky to have your leadership and passion in this community. I don’t know about you, but it feels like the closer we get towards the end of the year the faster the days are passing by, and the pressure is increasing to “get it all in before 2022”. In that vein, these past few weeks have been jam packed with activities that are moving key issues forward and in the next several weeks we have a lot of opportunity to impact how our community moves forward on key initiatives.
My Quick Note today has several “calls to action”. We need as many of you as possible to take a few minutes on one or more of these items to truly move the needle and ensure we are protecting our ability for businesses to succeed in our community. Homelessness- Business Leaders Task Force Hopefully you have seen the Chamber's "State of Our Homelessness Crisis" report released last month. As mentioned in the report, our first step is launching a focused task force of business and community leaders to bring private sector support to the task of ending homelessness. The first meeting of the Business Task Force (BTF) will be on Monday, November 8th from Noon-1 pm on zoom. The agenda will be to: solidify the purpose of the task force, review key findings from the report and current efforts around the homeless issues, and begin discussing how the private sector contributes to a community action plan and convening. CALL TO ACTION: If you are interested in joining this task force on Monday, November 8th from 12-1pm, please reply to me and let me know and I will send you the link to the meeting. Natural Gas & Electrification Public pressure for our Eugene City Councilors to pass an ordinance that would ban natural gas use in our community is growing. Currently, there are a flood of emails going to Eugene City Councilors asking them to pass an ordinance that would ban the use of natural gas in all new buildings built in the city limits. While we have heard from many of our businesses that they support a move towards a future that includes as much renewable energy as possible, we have also heard that an outright ban is not a responsible direction for our community. When it comes to reducing our carbon footprint as a community, research suggests that “banning natural gas” is an action that sounds more impactful than it really would be- and could have significant tradeoffs for our community. The City of Eugene has done very little, if anything at all, to explore the economic impact that a natural gas ban may have on our community. Council will be discussing these possible actions at a council work session on November 17th. The only opportunity for public testimony before that meeting is THIS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8th at 7:30pm. We know that a large number of community members will be coming out to urge council to ban natural gas. We want to make sure the business community voice is heard as well. CALL TO ACTION:
Shop Local Campaign Now for something a little lighter. We are proud to partner with Oregon Community Credit Union this holiday season on a “Support Local” campaign and online resource for community members. Our team is building a directory of local businesses that community members can visit to find easy ways to support local business and we will be putting resources in to spotlighting these businesses with marketing and giveaways over the next couple of months. The campaign kicks off this week and will run through the beginning of January. We are hoping to include all kinds of business in one of our nine categories that range from business services to retail to food and beverage. In lieu of our annual business expo, which was difficult to fit in to our current COVID regulations, we are trying to bring people together to support local businesses as they consider new vendors in the new year, experiences they want to provide to their families or holiday gift shopping. CALL TO ACTION: We would love to include your business- and its SUPER easy! Prices for listings range from FREE to $300 and you can sign your business up here: https://web.eugenechamber.com/events/Support-Local-Guide-2318302/details Reaching out with a Quick Note, that I do intend to keep quick as many of you may be finding it hard to focus with a Friday night Duck Game on the horizon.
Public Safety First, some good news. Monday evening Eugene City Council had a second discussion on the Community Safety Initiative and the payroll taxes that are being collected. You may recall that there was an effort to convince city council to reallocate the funding in the wake of social unrest and a national movement to defund the police. Many of you know the Chamber and businesses made a big push to reach out to council to let them know we did not support them moving funding away from police resources or using those payroll taxes in another way than they originally intended. On Monday, City Councilors made it clear they did not want to see those funds reallocated and that they have heard loud and clear our plea to increase safety in the community and the need for adequate police services to do that. The funding distribution of the new payroll tax will remain largely as originally intended, with the majority going to expand police services. While acknowledging the importance of police reforms, council nevertheless stood by its commitment to invest in and improve public safety services. Homelessness Since the Eugene Chamber published the “State of our Homeless Crisis” report a few weeks ago we have seen several positive actions. First, our report called for a collective group of community members representing different sectors of our community to come together to clearly articulate what success looks like in our community when it comes to this issue and what we need to do differently to make forward progress. The chamber is taking the lead on convening that group and we are beginning to get buy-in from the necessary partners for a different approach. Additionally, we called for a business leaders task force to be created to identify ways the private sector could contribute to this issue. More than 30 individuals have expressed interest in that task force and that group will convene in the coming weeks. If you are interested in participating, it is not too late, please let me know and we will add you to the list. ARPA Funding Through the American Recovery Plan Act passed by the federal government the City of Eugene will receive $35 million in one-time funds and Lane County will receive nearly $75 million. An influx of funds at that amount could be transformational for our community if we are strategic in how we invest those funds. Today a committee of chamber members including Gary Wildish, Casey Roscoe, John Borofsky, Thomas Pettus-Czar, Kaarin Knudson, and Jeannine Parisi met to discuss investment principals and areas we believe investments should be focused. Next week the Eugene Budget Committee will convene to have a similar discussion and we plan to weigh in on behalf of the business community around this topic. If you have particular thoughts on those investments or things the city should focus on, please feel free to send those my way and we incorporate feedback from our members. Thank you all for your continued investment in our community and for staying engaged in the conversations that move our business community forward. I am writing my quick note this week, again on the topic of homelessness which has been and will continue to be a priority area for our chamber.
This week our chamber released a report on the state of our homelessness crisis in Lane County. I wanted to make sure each of you saw the report. The report includes background and 8 recommendations. We have spent the last 6 months diving in very deeply to this issue as it is one of, if not the biggest issue facing our community and subsequently our business community. In a period of 4 months we spoke with over 150 community partners- nearly every nonprofit service provider who works in this space, city and county staff, community leaders, business leaders, unhoused individuals and many of you. We have also spent time talking to leaders in other communities who are facing similar challenges in size and scope. We are by no means the expert on this issue, but this report brings in the opinions and experiences of those experts and attempts to summarize the state of this crisis for the broader community. We firmly believe that another report is not going to solve this issue, but what we do hope it can do is educate the broader community, who we learned is frankly, losing a lot of hope that we can overcome this challenge. We also hope it can help our elected leaders understand where we think some of the biggest opportunities for improvement exist. Some people think that we just need more funding to solve this challenge, our research has led us to believe that if we continue to do things the way we are doing them, no amount of money will help us end homelessness. There are systematic issues with the way we are addressing this issue that must be dealt with before more money can be effectively deployed in our community. This issue is too big for our government or nonprofit leaders to solve on their own, and as such we need them to agree to come together with a broader coalition of stakeholders to sit at the table as equals to determine how we can do things differently. Other communities have done this effectively, we can too. Our next steps include: 1. Establishing a Business Leaders Task force to direct a private sector response to this crisis. a. Execute by October 2021 2. Build out implementation tactics for each of the recommendations included in this report. a. Execute by: November 2021 3. Convene a strategic group of stakeholders from business, nonprofit, faith community, academia, government, etc. to determine a collective approach and shared goal to solve this crisis. a. Execute by: November 2021 4. Hire an economist to perform a cost study/ economic impact analysis to better understand where our money has gone and the economic impact this issue is having on our community so we can more effectively allocate resources. a. Execute by: December 2021 I am looking forward to more in-depth conversations with business leaders and community leaders in the weeks to come on this research and our recommendations. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with your questions or input. If you are interested in participating in these next steps, please let me know. Thank you for all you do for the community, As summer comes to an end the Eugene Chamber is looking toward the fall and making plans for how we can support businesses through what looks to be another difficult season. One area we are consistently focused on is advocating for businesses and right now we are preparing for the city council to return from break and begin taking up important issues relevant to the business community.
One of the first issues on their docket is community safety and the future of the Community Safety Initiative. The Community Safety Initiative was passed by the Eugene city council in 2019 to increase funding and align resources that would reduce crime, improve neighborhood quality of life, and stabilize our public safety system. It is funded by employers and employees in the form of a payroll tax that went into effect in January of 2021. IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY In 2019, city councilors were presented with a review of our community justice system that indicated a significant gap existed between the level of public safety services needed for a community our size and the current services being provided. It was found that while Eugene’s population had grown, along with the demand on our police and fire departments, the number of officers serving our community had decreased. As a result, we learned that officer response time had increased by almost 20 minutes, and police were unable to respond to one out of three calls for service. Our Fire and Emergency Medical Service faced similar problems. The growing demand continued to outpace capacity causing critical gaps in community safety and services. Staff estimated that funding of $22.8 million annually was needed to fill the gaps and maintain safety and quality of life in our community. THE CHAMBER’S PERSPECTIVE When this initiative was introduced to the community, our chamber was less than enthusiastic about a new tax on business, but our leaders understood the dire state our community safety system was in and how an underperforming safety system negatively impacted the economic prosperity of our region. When originally passed, the Community Safety Initiative outlined how funding would be split between critical functions of the justice system: 65% for police services; 10% for fire and emergency medical services; 15% for municipal court and prosecution services; and 10% for prevention and homelessness services. Our business community supported the payroll tax with the promise the City would expand needed police services, including 40 patrol officers, 5 detectives, 4 sergeants, 10 community service officers, 9.5 staff for 911, animal welfare, and traffic safety officers, and evidence control and forensic analysts. WHERE WE ARE NOW Two years later, our community and country have experienced multiple crises that have put increased strain on our community safety system while also shining a light on how our institutions are failing to safely serve diverse members of our community. Today, our elected officials are facing pressure to defund our police department and reallocate funds to other places in our community, while at the same time they are hearing story after story of how our police officers didn’t show up for hours when they were needed if they were able to respond at all. On September 13th Council will discuss if they will shift how funding for the Community Safety Initiative will be spent. Our chamber strongly believes that policy recommendations from BIPOC community members to improve the nature of policing in our community should be prioritized by our council. However, shifting funding away from our police will not bring our community safety services up to the level that our community is expecting and deserves. This initiative was introduced because of a significant lack of resources—our community was already coming from behind. The world looks a lot different today than it did two years ago, but we would argue the safety of our community is worse off, not better than it was when this ordinance was passed. Eugene City Councilors made a commitment to our community. It is imperative that they keep their promises and do their job to keep our community safe. I hope you all are staying healthy and navigating yet another round of COVID challenges.
We have been collecting contacts for business leaders impacted by the growing safety concerns in our community and I want to address that issue today, which our chamber has been working on extensively. Community Safety Initiative/ Payroll Tax On Monday, September 13th Eugene City Councilors will come back from a summer break to a work session on the Community Safety Initiative (you can watch that meeting at 5:30 pm here). The Community Safety Initiative and ordinance was passed by Eugene City Council in 2019 to increase funding and align resources that would reduce crime, improve neighborhood quality of life, and stabilize our public safety system. It is funded by employers and employees in the form of a payroll tax that went into effect January of 2021. For a history of the Community Safety Initiative, why it came to be, and the role the chamber played in the negotiations, please see this brief article we published today: https://www.openforbizeugene.com/a-quick-note-the-safety-of-our-community/ When this initiative was introduced to the community, our chamber was less than enthusiastic about a new tax on business, but our leaders understood the dire state our community safety system was in and how an underperforming safety system negatively impacted the economic prosperity of our region. At the time, our Chamber played a large role in influencing the outcome of that ordinance to better serve the business community. Among many different items, we advocated for citizen oversight of the funds, demanded metrics be included in the ordinance, and pushed for a public vote after seven years to hold the city accountable for accomplishing those metrics. Today, city councilors are facing pressure to defund the police and shift funds away from the police department to other places in our community- while at the same time we are telling them story after story of how police officers didn’t show up for hours when they were called in an emergency if they were able to respond at all. City councilors will be getting a report on the history of that initiative, the current state of our safety metrics and an update on how much money has been collected to date. They are not likely to make a final decision on September 13th but we believe it is important that prior to that meeting, they each hear the stories of businesses and neighbors who do not feel safe in this community and who want to see more police support in our community, not less. CALL TO ACTION: Please send a note to our elected officials BEFORE SEPTEMBER 13th urging them to keep their promises to our community to decrease police response times, increase the number of calls they can respond to, and decrease crime in neighborhoods by spending more time proactively policing. Email the full city council at this address: [email protected]. If you would like to email your city councilor directly, a full contact list is attached. Council members are hearing from individuals who want to defund the police. They need to keep hearing from businesses that need more protection, not less. Thank you all for your support in this effort. Over the past three months, I, and several of our staff, have spent over one hundred hours meeting with business leaders, service providers, city and county staff, and experts from across the country on the issue of homelessness and criminal activity.
While many of us have seen the unsanctioned homeless encampments growing across the community, many do not see the crime that is present around some of these camps. Since last year, the volume of concerns coming from the business community regarding criminal activity on their properties has grown exponentially. A large portion of these complaints are on or near properties where unsanctioned camps have gone unregulated. Let me be clear, I do not believe all homeless individuals are criminals. I also know that there are several homeless individuals in our community who are victims of crime, just as our businesses and community members have been. I do not believe the state of being homeless should be considered a crime. The crime I am referring to is not the lone act of sleeping in public. The crimes our businesses have been enduring are far more serious- theft, vandalism, assault, intimidation, gun violence- and it is impacting their ability to keep their businesses running successfully and maintain a safe environment for their employees. The Eugene Chamber is committed to finding solutions to these critical issues. Our ultimate short-term goal is to stop the crime and find appropriate places for individuals to shelter. These two things are equally important, and we cannot wait for a perfect solution to one before we address the other. In the long-term, our focus is on increasing housing options for individuals in our community, as well as increasing the critical services needed to help individuals truly get well while we move upstream and turn off the “spigot” of new individuals entering homelessness in our community. To accomplish these goals, we strongly believe we need a shift in our way of thinking about and approaching this issue as a community. Historically businesses have been pitted against homeless individuals and advocates, suggesting there are two sides to these issues and that we are not working towards the same goal of ending homelessness. We have to start looking at helping businesses struggling with the impacts of criminal activity and illegal camping as a long-term solution to our current homeless challenge. The businesses I have spoken to over the past few months are at a true tipping point- several having serious conversations about leaving our community. A rough calculation of the number of jobs represented by the employers I have spoken to is over 500. That means 500 individuals at risk of losing their jobs- which is a leading cause of homelessness in our community and across the country. If we truly want to make strides in solving our homeless challenge in Eugene, we have to prioritize going upstream to prevent future homelessness by saving and growing jobs and keeping people off the streets in the first place. Addressing the immediate criminal activity impacting businesses today IS a long-term solution to solving homelessness. It must be prioritized. As a community, I believe it is a noble goal to be the place where individuals get well. We are a compassionate community and can improve our systems to help those that want to be helped. But we must draw a line at those that are refusing services and are committing crimes on our business properties and in our neighborhoods. We can’t do everything, and we can’t do anything for those who don’t want to access those resources or follow the rules that we all must abide by. This issue is a business issue. It is also bigger than anything one government entity or a network of nonprofits can solve alone. This is an issue that is going to take much bigger thinking, more voices, and difficult conversations for us to truly overcome. Addressing this issue is a top priority for the Eugene Chamber and we are prepared to lead the business voice to the table as we explore real solutions, together, as a community. My Quick Note this morning is dedicated to a topic impacting many of your businesses and that we are working on extensively right now.
We are acutely aware of the growing number of businesses dealing with criminal activity and unsanctioned camping on or near their property. It is one of our top priorities at the Chamber right now. I spent time Thursday driving around the West Eugene and Whiteaker area to take photos and see for myself the current state of affairs in those parts of the community. It was incredibly disheartening. These businesses and employees need relief, the homeless individuals need a sanctioned, safe place to be, and the criminals need to be held accountable. We are committed to addressing these issues.
First, after dozens of conversations with elected officials, city staff and nonprofit and business leaders it is clear we have to reframe this issue. Solving Homelessness by Saving and Increasing Jobs To accomplish these goals, we strongly believe we need a shift in our way of thinking about and approaching this issue as a community. Historically businesses have been pitted against homeless individuals and advocates, suggesting there are two-sides to these issues and that we are not working towards the same goal of ending homelessness. We believe helping the businesses that are struggling with the impacts of criminal activity and illegal camping is a long-term solution to our current homeless challenge. The businesses I have spoken to over the past few months are at a true tipping point. They are struggling to keep up with the challenges they are experiencing. They are worried about the safety of their employees; and several are having serious conversations about leaving our community. A rough calculation of the number of jobs represented by the employers I have spoken to is over 500. That means we have 500 community members at risk of losing their jobs- which is a leading cause of homelessness in our community and across the country. If we truly want to make strides in solving our homeless challenge in Eugene, we have to prioritize “turning off the spigot” by saving and growing jobs and keeping people off the streets in the first place. Addressing the immediate criminal activity impacting businesses today IS a long-term solution to solving homelessness. It must be prioritized. We are working on a detailed action plan for how to accomplish these goals above, but for now I wanted to share some immediate actions that we are taking or are aware of happening:
While COVID has added a layer of complexity to an already overwhelming situation, we know there are things that can still be done now. We have a lot more to come, and I plan to keep providing progress updates along the way. The sun is out and it feels a whole lot more like Spring than it does the end of Winter at the moment, so hopefully I catch you with this update before you cut out for the weekend. This past week has been filled with both good news and hard work on daunting issues facing our community. A quick note on a few of those things…
Homelessness and Camping Sites Over the past several weeks the number of calls and emails I have fielded from businesses in Eugene about issues they are having with homeless camps near their business property is growing. From West Eugene to the Whiteaker neighborhood to Downtown, the concerns are spread throughout the community. I also had the opportunity this week to tour the The Hub- a Dawn-to-Dawn homeless shelter site run by St. Vincent de Paul on HWY 99. After spending time talking with their staff for over an hour, it was clear to me that the concerns about the homeless encampments are shared by businesses, neighbors, service providers and our city staff and elected officials. With strict COVID-19 regulations in place on how to accommodate our homeless population during this pandemic, some of the issues are out of our community’s hands. However, I don’t think all of them are that way. I have reached out and scheduled a meeting with the Eugene City Manager, Police Chief, Mayor, Public Works Director and Planning Director for this upcoming Monday to do some digging into what the city is doing in response to the issues businesses are facing and how we can think outside the box to make sure we are actually solving the problems that exist. Additionally, we have been in touch with both councilors Claire Syrett and Randy Groves about the specific issues in their wards. Randy and I are meeting shortly to identify ways the city council can contribute to turning our situation around. I hope to have more for you soon about next steps. Just know we are actively working on this issue and if you have any specific concerns you want me to document and pass along, please send those my way. Community Safety Survey More specifically, on the topic of safety, we need help getting the business community to respond to a survey the city is conducting on where dollars should be spent around public safety. With the new payroll tax that was passed a couple years ago, dollars are to be distributed across our community justice system. However, with the unrest that last year brought, there are community members asking to reevaluate how that money should be spent. As direct contributors to the fund, it is important they hear from as many business leaders as possible. Please take the survey here (there are only 13 questions and they go by quickly): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7TQYVFB Now some good news… Southwest Airlines We learned on Monday that our recruitment efforts were successful and Southwest Airlines will be expanding and providing service to the Eugene airport! This recruitment project was a partnership between the Eugene Airport, City of Eugene, Lane County, City of Springfield, Onward Eugene, Travel Lane County, Eugene and Springfield Chambers, University of Oregon, Technology Association of Oregon and over 50 private businesses and elected officials who wrote support letters and helped with a site visit and tour of our community. It was truly a team effort and it feels good to have a win this big to kick off 2021! They hope to start service sometime mid-summer and we are anxiously awaiting to hear what cities they will be flying to directly. $500,000 Federal Grant Award Just prior to hearing about our successful recruitment project, we were elated to learn that the Eugene Chamber, Onward Eugene and the University of Oregon were selected for a $500,000 grant from the Federal Economic Development Agency. These funds will help us expand services to entrepreneurs and growing businesses in the Eugene area. Those who have applied for and received a federal grant know that even just applying is a feat in and of itself. I am proud of the team that was successful in bringing this investment to our community! American Rescue Plan Lastly, yesterday President Biden signed in to law the American Rescue Plan which has many components, several of which will provide much needed support to businesses as they recover from the pandemic. If you want to learn more about what is included and how it may help your business, please join us for our free Committed to Community Webinar on this topic next Thursday, March 18th. Thanks to a generous sponsorship by OCCU we are able to offer these resources free to our community. You can register to join us here: https://eugeneorcoc.wliinc19.com/events/Committed-to-Community-Webinar-American-Rescue-Plan-2318220/details Have a wonderful weekend. I hope you are staying healthy and sane as you manage your businesses through another day; another month of this pandemic. While I secretly hoped turning over a new year would slow things down a bit, the first few weeks of 2021 have not proven to be any easier than those we lived through last year. However, I am hopeful each day that we see the number of vaccines distributed in Lane County increase. While faint, there does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel.
Today I wanted to share with you a few quick updates on important topics we have been tracking at the Chamber, and also hoped to get your feedback on what we should continue to prioritize as an organization over the next year. Our top priorities in 2021 Many of us still feel the exhaustion of continuously having to react to the challenges of 2020. This year we have the benefit of being a little more prepared for what we may experience and as such have proactively identified our top areas of focus for the year:
We need your help understanding exactly what activities we can be doing to support you- please help us by taking 5 minutes to share your feedback here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BRMDFCM The future of natural gas in our community We have been closely tracking and participating in conversations around decarbonization and the future of natural gas in our community. After two years the City of Eugene and Northwest Natural are nearing the end of negotiations on a new franchise agreement amid public pressure on councilors to walk away from the franchise negotiations and ban new natural gas infrastructure in Eugene. Banning new natural gas infrastructure may negatively impact economic development activities as well as housing prices- what those impacts will be exactly have not been studied by the council.
Representing business in 2021 legislative session A new legislative session is upon us and despite the pandemic and restricted access to the capitol, legislators are moving ahead with more than 3500 bills introduced for consideration this session.
While we have much more to report on, I will stop there and let you get on to enjoying your weekend. I appreciate the support of each of your businesses and look forward to learning how we can continue to work on your behalf in 2021. One more plug, to please take 5 minutes to share your feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BRMDFCM |
