Northern Regional Report: November - December 2020

As this crazy year comes to a close, I would like to commend you all once more for your outstanding work that you have done this year.

Despite the countless restrictions, postponements, and closures we have had to deal with, you all have persisted and truly shown your dedication to our organization. Over the course of 2020, the Northern Region has signed over 24,000 members. 127 of you have reached your goal of signing up at least 25 members this year. Of the 127 folks who met their goal, 57 of you took it to the next level and signed up at least 100 people. I hope we can double that number of folks who “Strive for 25” in 2021!

Some states are continuing to ease their restrictions on gatherings and events, while some are seeing spikes in COVID-19 cases and are reversing their decisions. I understand how frustrating this may feel after the year we have had, but please continue to keep your and your family’s health in mind during this time. If you’re comfortable attending events, hosting classes, and opening your storefronts, there are many simple ways to ensure that you and those around you stop the spread. This includes wiping down high-touch surfaces (like counter tops, computers, and pens) with Lysol or alcohol wipes, washing your hands frequently, and wearing a mask if you are able. If you don’t feel comfortable attending larger events or gatherings just yet, don’t feel pressured to do so. We understand the circumstances vary from state to state. With that said, please continue to be mindful of your state’s guidelines moving forward.

I wish you all the best this holiday season and hope that you’re able to spend some quality time with your loved ones. Let’s start 2021 on the right foot, ready to take on whatever the upcoming year may have in store for us. Be well!
