Dear Fellow Members,
During this holiday season, we want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of our Association's mission. Without your support, we would not be able to promote our industry, advocate for you when challenges arise, and provide the many other benefits our Association offers to you and your businesses.
This year, while we we able to receive CERTS funding, and additional help with PPP, our businesses haven't come back to pre-pandemic levels. We are still feeling the effects of the evolving virus, managing mandates, a severe driver shortage and additional compliance demands. We continued our advocacy efforts to fight toll increases, tax on CERTS funding, various mandates and more.
Although we navigated many challenges, we also celebrated. We formally celebrated the association's 40th anniversary in October at Resorts Casino Hotel. We celebrated the relationships we made over the years that we lean on in tough times. We celebrated once again gathering with family and friends.
After a year of free membership, we renewed membership with 4 additional months. 16 months of membership for the price of a year. The next renewal will be January 2023. We hope this small gesture helps you.
We would also like to recognize and welcome, again, the new members who joined us over the last year:
