Christmas Closing

From the President's Desk

This time of the year is my favorite. I am like a kid at Christmas time. I still do the lights and decorations at the house and offices. I enjoy going to see lights, various events in my home town and being with family and friends.

It has been challenging and it looks like 2023 will be more of the same. I am very thankful that I work in an industry that seems to still be good to me and my family  no matter what the world throws at us.

As we close out the year, let us not forget all those that make what we do such a great opportunity, fulfillment and livelihood - our customers.

I also want to thank all PIA member's, our board and our staff for being part of the PIA. I look forward to 2023 and what we can accomplish.

Most important let's not forget the real reason for the season is the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas to all.
