[Inaugural SFA Way Awards Honor Specialty Food Association Staff]

This is a little overdue, however still important to react to. As a member who has benefited from working with many of you from a number of different vantage points, congratulations to you all on your recognition. It is especially "special" because of it stemming from your peers and covers multiple areas/criteria to be evaluated on. From a member perspective, I can vouch for those that I know, that each one provides value, whether follow up, responsiveness, willingness to learn and grow, or being accountable. Do not take this lightly, because this benefits everyone ... members, fellow staff, the association. Keep up the great work .... we all need you. Happy New Year and see you in Vegas!
