THANK YOU ESSENTIAL WORKERS

March marked the one-year anniversary since The World Health Organization declared a new respiratory virus, COVID-19, a pandemic. The past 12-month period has been one of the most challenging in living history for the public, frontline healthcare/ essential workers, and society. Yet, despite the ongoing pandemic, these workers were called upon daily to meet our basic needs during the COVID-19 shutdown and helped keep the world moving forward.

It is with recognition and deep appreciation that we extend a heartfelt thank you to all the essential and frontline workers that worked daily. You are the workers who represent the medical and healthcare, telecommunications, education, information technology systems, defense, food and agriculture, transportation and logistics, energy, water and wastewater, law enforcement, and public works industries. You are our heroes!

CONGRATULATIONS!
