Update from the President of TCA

Good morning, everyone! I hope you had an incredible week! We just capped off a great team meeting in Portland, Oregon. In fact, it was the first time I got to meet our managing editor, Courtney Coren, in person! That’s the thing about running an internet based company—our team is scattered all over the country. All we care about is the awesome job our employees do, not where they are based. Me, Sarah, Bree and Courtney were up there for a conference and used the opportunity to get together and plan out the rest of 2016 and beyond. Now we’ve got some specific goals set up that we need to achieve, and a plan to make it happen. It’s all about improving your experience, giving you what you ask for, and continuing to grow. I’m very excited for the rest of the year!

On the home front, it was a calm weekend, though naturally at least one person got sick while I was away and unfortunately it was my beautiful bride. Thankfully, she’s already feeling better. We need a few weeks where EVERYONE is healthy so we can enjoy this beautiful spring weather in Phoenix! Hopefully, we can get outside this weekend. Summer, and the oppressive heat, will be here before we know it.

That’s all for now! Make it a GREAT week!

Warm Regards,

Scott Hardy
President
