As we embark on preparing for what 2026 holds in our future, I’d be remiss in not acknowledging how far we have come in 2025. The growth of our industry is making a significant impact on the many fronts we assist our client companies in their pursuit of growing their own businesses.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has given us certainty is some areas that are of major concern to our industry and clients. While there are still areas we need to address, our presence on the hill, both federally and in each state, has never been more needed than today. The NAPEO PAC has surpassed $150,000 in contributions this cycle with more to come. Our continued commitment to the industry, of being on the forefront of issues and proactively helping to craft legislation that enhances our abilities to serve our clients, has served us well in 2025.
Our Annual Conference and Marketplace in Austin will be electric and I can’t thank you all enough for your presence and commitment to making our time together worthwhile. Raising over $250,000 for Anthropos Arts in our NAPEO Gives Back campaign proves yet again that the Power Of Many was on exhibit by all who contributed. I am constantly amazed and humbled by our ability to leave our world a better place than we found it each year.
The NextGen and WIN initiatives continue to grow and are a firm foundation for the future. The investment we are all making in growing the future of NAPEO membership is well worth the effort and I hope that more of you will get involved in both of these worthy endeavors.
As we move our individual companies forward in 2026, know that the NAPEO board and staff are in alignment with providing the best outcomes for whatever we collectively have to face this coming year. My commitment to each of you is that I will remain accessible in leading the most collaborative and respected industry I have ever been associated with.
