A great man once said that the best currency, the most valuable of all, is gratitude. I believe that the groundwork that’s been laid in the world of parking, the innovations that continue to develop, the people and mentors that have been beacons for others, make this industry a great place to work. Parking means more than just a place to park a car due to the passion and dedication of a good many folks. When our leaders have the vigor to see the industry succeed and continue to succeed for the vast network of folks who are affected by this industry, we are thankful we can also provide the same energy for the folks that we individually affect day to day. During times of challenges and new opportunities, gratitude can provide a sense of grounding, to help us relate to what may be unknown to us, to think outside ourselves. Often times we need this strength to be strong for others, even if we are not feeling that confident ourselves, that gratitude can establish as a tool in the box. Technology changes in the parking world can affect our strategy year to year and we need to continue to adapt with it. To remember this gratitude, this thankfulness of all those who helped us grow up to this point, we are better adept to provide the same leadership for the people who need a little help in the now.
