Hello Everyone,

This week we are holding our annual CIMS Board Meetings. It is a very important week for our group because it is one where we take a hard look at our previous year and use those conversations to set goals and initiatives for the current one. This year our meetings are quite different. We are usually able to all descend on some city and spend the better part of the week together having those conversations in person. It is an invaluable time for our group, and I am certainly missing not being able to have that for this go around. Side note, if you find yourself in a city that is not your own (or even if it is) with any of that crew, you are sure to share good times and make wonderful memories! However, we are determined to make the most of our current circumstances. Thanks to all of our past experiences together, this year’s meeting is shaping up to be just as successful. I am grateful to our CIMS Board members for the extra time and energy they dedicate to our organization and the store perspective and guidance they bring to our discussions.

In other news, the award for best band breakup announcement hands down goes to Daft Punk. Definitely the toughest breakup moment I have been through in a while.

Here are the charts.
