As we move forward in the New Year I hope all reflect on 2011, bring the good forward, leave the mistakes behind and have a very prosperous 2012.  I believe things are progressing well for our industry and see many good things coming.  NACE and SEMA were both very good shows this year and I only see things getting better for those two venues.  SCRS, CIC and I-CAR as well as several other organizations are constantly working to improve our industry by raising standards, bringing understanding and developing certifications.  I look forward to seeing you somewhere in my travels and appreciate the following as I try to bring information you can use through this blog.  Please be safe this holiday season, we need all of you !
