4 I PSAI Association Insight, September 15, 2021 The PSAI's Path Forward (continued from page 2) outlined in our strategic plan. We are not "contracting" for services. We are partnering with an industry that has a culture of integrating services and running the day-to-day operations of associations. Ewald wins when the PSAI services its members. To most of you and the world, it will appear that we have an amazing staff focused on creating "Better Worksites, Better Weekends and a Better World" as our tagline promises. Over the next few weeks, you will see the same value from the PSAI that you've come to expect. Our current staff, Emily Newberg and Todd Ginter, will continue to be a part of the day-to-day operations. Eric Ewald will be our interim Executive Director, leading the transition and weaving the fabric that moves us forward. Our Nuts & Bolts Educational Conference and 2022 Annual Convention and Trade Show in Reno will have more opportunities than ever for the association to serve you. As a Board we are excited to see what this new opportunity will bring for the PSAI in the coming months and years. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions. Our contact information can be found on the PSAI's website.
