It’s officially Spring! This time of year is inspiring to me for many reasons. It inspires change, progress, renewal, and rededication. The past two years have been full of challenges; COVID-19 and all its hardships, travel restrictions, economic restrictions, and hurdles; “The Great Resignation;” civil unrest, and the most devastating to me, emotional and mental

When I think about March, I think about Spring and the rebirth and renewal all over the world. The weather is getting warmer, COVID-19 cases are declining and restrictions are loosening, the recipe for opportunity is written. In my March 2021 blog post, “Rebirth,” I was filled with optimism. I was optimistic that the pandemic

This week marks the one-year anniversary of the “Big Freeze” in Texas. Over a 5-day period, over 4 million Texans lost power in one of the coldest winter storms to hit the Lone Star State in decades. Hundreds lost their lives as a result of this storm; millions were left without water & electricity and

Last year is in the rearview mirror and we are buckling up for a new ride. As we drive ahead to 2022, it is still important to check that rearview one last time. 2021 taught us lessons that we need to carry forward. A lot of the goals and promises that we made in 2021

As I reflected on a blog post, I revisited my November 2020 post which was titled, “#Thankful.” I talked about the coronavirus pandemic, civil unrest, economic hardship, physical & mental health, and many more unfortunate circumstances that we are still battling a year later. However, the light at the end of that dark tunnel was,

Resilience Part 2 of 2  Last month, I talked about the resilience of the UTC Team and their willingness to “pivot” and power through the last 2 years. This month, I want to recognize who we do it for our members. UTC has been around for almost 75 years and yes, that is a long time,

Resilience- Part 1 of 2 In 2020, the UTC motto was “pivot.” I never imagined the amount of pivoting we really had to do. All the pivoting we endured, made us all stronger and ultimately, resilient. 2020 was a roller coaster ride and just when we thought the ride was over, 2021 took us for

Spring is here! UTC is once again in meetings mode—and I couldn’t be more excited. That’s right, we’ve just recently opened registration for the first in-person annual Telecom & Technology Conference since June 2019. This year’s T&T is scheduled for Aug. 23-27, 2021, in Portland, Oregon. Our agenda is still coming together, but you can

As I write this, I am getting ready for UTC’s first step into in-person meetings since Spring 2020. This will be the first time as President and CEO that I will be meeting many of you and I couldn’t be more excited. Still, I assume a number of us are a bit tentative about travel right
