Greetings from Henrik Johansson, Chairman SACC Austin
Dear SACC friends,

I hope you and your loved one are staying safe and sound. It’s only been a few months since Covid-19 changed our world forever, and already it’s starting to feel repetitive to talk about “unprecedented and challenging times”. It seems as TV commercials that used to have a simple and often cheesy message, like “Look what a clever commercial we made with non-actor real people. Now, buy a Toyota”, have suddenly changed to: “We care deeply about our customers and employees through these unprecedented and challenging times. Now, buy a Toyota.” I guess you can see it as a sign of how resilient and adaptable we are, or maybe how cynical and deceptive marketers are. Either way, it is what is it is, and all we can do is to “improvise, adapt, and overcome” our challenges (quoting Clint Eastwood here from the movie Heartbreak Ridge using an old unofficial slogan of the US marine corps).
