Dear Friends,
We are experiencing unprecedented times in our
lives right now as the situation surrounding COVID-19 continues to evolve and
impact us all.
At Meeting Sites Pro, Inc., we are adapting
and changing in this fluid situation. Many of our meetings for the upcoming
months have been postponed or moved to virtual formats and we are experiencing
how this affects not only us, but also our clients and suppliers. Following the
California lockdown order issued late last week, our team is working from
our homes to ensure safety and allow our team to continue to take care of our
clients and their attendees. We remain flexible while waiting for direction on
an estimate as to when we may begin to get back to some ‘normalcy’. In the
meanwhile, we are available by email and cell phones and are happy to discuss
meeting solutions with our partners.
During this uncertainty, I have been reflecting on our
past and I am hopeful for our future. In 2000, I started Meeting Site Pro from
the garage of my condo with a strong passion for serving my clients and their
attendees. This passion has grown over the years as we developed so many strong
relationships with our loyal clients and dedicated suppliers.
As we move forward, I have asked my team to take some
time during this period and really think about those supporters who have made
Meeting Sites Pro what it is today. During this challenging time for the
meetings/events industry, we want to remember that we are all united and provide
some encouragement in this trying time. For this reason, we will be posting a
weekly blog spotlighting some of the people, places, companies, or events that
have impacted the trajectory of Meeting Sites Pro and extend a warm thank you
for your support.
For the past 20 years, we have all gone through our up’s
and our down’s. I continue to be amazed by our passion, resilience, and ability
to adapt. While these are testing times, we are in this together. Our team is
standing by and eager to continue to serve and support you.
Please remember to make time to refresh, laugh, exercise,
and have faith that this will end soon. Be well and stay strong.
Warm Regards,
Michelle Harty, CMP-HC, CEO
