March Video Message From SFBA President, Kristen Seaholm
Transcript
Hello everyone and happy March! Kristen Seaholm here, you’re San Francisco Bay Area WIPA President, serving the greater Northern California region. Happy to be back for another round of updates so let’s jump right in.
As we begin to see counties moving into the red tier, there is a shining glimmer of hope on the horizon for events to make their way back. This is a potentially exciting time for us all, but not without some apprehensions. So, as we continue along, ensure that you and your fellow colleagues are being as vigilant as ever in following safety protocols and being a part of the solution. And remember, we are all going to be re-opening our businesses at different speeds so don’t let someone else’s hurry pressure you to do the same. Listen to your heart and your gut and follow your own path. And don’t forget that we are all in this together.
