Dear CMP Community, I write this last message of the year from my return flight from one of my favorite cities — Barcelona. It’s always magical, but especially so at this time of year. We hosted our last in-person Board and Council session for the year and participated in IBTM World along with many of our members including our booth partners IAEE, MPI and SITE. It’s been quite a year on many fronts. As we enter the holiday season, we typically take inventory of our accomplishments and perhaps our setbacks. This is a good time for a healthy dose of reflection along with gratitude. This can also be a time of year when we can feel a bit unanchored especially when we look around us, feel and listen to the tremendous struggles people are facing amidst the uncertainty we face in the world. We continue to go about our work, striving to adapt to many new realities. We hope that we are doing work that is relevant, impactful, purposeful and a reflection of our values.
