Struggles, frustration, confusion, social distancing – the Covid 19 pandemic has really forced us all to leave our routine comfort zones and learn to live a new way. Many are speculating how our culture not only professionally but also personally will change. Whole industries have been affected. Our human spirit is alive and well. We can embrace all these changes. It will be COOPERATION that leads us forward. Let’s keep our cooperative spirit going in all we do! Remember, we too are always looking for you to share your knowledge since you may have some extra time on your hands (like others continue to do) with us through articles in The Cooperative Accountant. Feel free to contact me (fmessina@uab.edu) if you have any ideas or thoughts on a potential article contribution. Sharing knowledge is a wonderful thing for all!!! Knowledge can change our world! That is why we must remember – “The Past is history; the Future is a mystery, but this Moment is a Gift – that’s why it’s called the Present.” Positively Yours, Frank M. Messina, DBA, CPA
