...and next, some good news.

Yesterday’s shocker about the GLM layoffs was followed by a happier news blast today when finalists were announced for the upcoming Retailer Excellence Awards. Much to my joy and surprise, the Gift and Home Trade Association has been designated the recipient of the prestigious Industry Achievement Award. Not bad for a group that’s only been around for four years.

Needless to say, I was emailing my fellow Board members and Retail Advisory Board members lickety split.

Now...what to wear to the August ceremony...?
