Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Heading to DC

9 Comments

I’m on my way to DC this weekend.  It’s our semi-annual Truck Safety Coalition Sorrow to Strength conference.  Seems like we were just there, but it’s been two years.  Every time we go to this conference we say that we’re going to go a day early, stay a day late, and then we never have the time.  This year we’re flying out in the morning and arriving about an hour before the conference starts.  We’ll be in meetings over the weekend, then in appointments on Monday and Tuesday, talking to anyone and everyone that will listen.

I’ll tell you more about it later.  I’m a bit worried that with all the hoopla going on in Washington our story just isn’t going to get the attention we need.  But I feel that way every year. I guess it’s up to us to make enough noise to get noticed.

I should take lessons from Katie; she’s got that down pat.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
