Sally Black: With Gratitude, We Thank You
| |
| |
As we all start to rethink and rebuild our businesses in the wake of this global crisis, there have already been lots of changes and difficult decisions made, with many more to still come. At the FTA, since we needed to postpone our annual Summit until 2021, Sally Black will be stepping away from her involvement on the FTA team... for now! She has helped educate (and entertain) FTA members and the industry at large for the last several years, and for that, we are all grateful! She is a force to be reckoned with and someone we all thank for making us better at what we do.
