Charles Dickens wrote, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, … it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” Some 160 years ago, Dickens used these opening words as he wrote A Tale of Two Cities.
Often during the worst of times, we see evidence of the best in people. As our hectic worlds have collectively slowed pace, I challenge you to think of those you have witnessed stepping up, stepping out, and impacting the bankruptcy community in a positive way. Annually, the NCBC recognizes individuals and groups of people who have made significant contributions, BUT we need your help to identify the influencers. Won’t you consider nominating someone today? The award criteria and the link for submitting nominations will be available until June 1, 2020 at http://www.ncbcweb.com/awards. I can’t wait to read your nominations.
As I sit here in my home office in mid-April, I find myself reflective. I’m thankful the pandemic is seeming it might be beginning to loosen its grip on my community, my county, my commonwealth and my country. I wish the same for you and your neighborhood. I long for Dickens’ season of hope to begin soon. I sincerely hope you and those you love most are safe and well. May we all exit this season of darkness with a new appreciation for life and thankfulness for those around us.
