摘要:Lately it seems that everywhere I go people are talking
about 2020. They can’t believe it’s been two decades
since the world worried about Y2K or that the oldest
millennials—including yours truly—are closing in on 40.
NASIG also celebrates a milestone in 2020, as this year
marks 35 years since our first meeting. As we approach
the midpoint of our fourth decade, we enjoy the fruits
that a mature organization has to offer: an established
reputation, a solid member base, and the guidance of
the leaders who have helped chart our course. But as a
mature organization, we also face certain challenges,
particularly those of staying fresh and adapting to our
changing profession. The work of the organization this
year embodies both of these themes—honoring
tradition and moving forward.
