A big hand to all the nominees and the people who support our communities including those with and without titles or nominations. We are all in this together, and we all have value. I am happy to see a diverse cross section of individuals being recognized for their contributions – including our friends from “down under!”

Happy New Year, and I hope to meet the Australian “Bear team” this year! You are looking grrrrreat! Keep up the good work!

Much Love,
Joe Mannetti
