EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Weathering the Pandemic TOGETHER


NARSA/IDEA HAS WEATHERED the COVID storm with you, which since the founding of NARSA in 1954 has probably been the most serious threat to the viability of your association. The Board of Directors had the foresight to plan for an economic atmosphere where we could sustain a financial downturn. I am proud to report the membership in your association is the same as it was at the end of last year. Through all of the hardships and uncertain times our members have chosen to support their association. We have lost some members, but have had new members take their place. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to be part of the custodial effort in ensuring the future of NARSA/IDEA.

conversations, news feed, and thoughts are all based on what has occurred for the last 18 months. Our President Bobby Duran wrote about supply chain failures which is part of our relentless dialogue these days. We have been consumed by the pandemic and all of the rhetoric that has surrounded this rare historical event.


Are you emotionally and psychologically prepared for the ensuing battle with events that are out of your control? We realize that as much as we try to control the outcomes of our actions and lives, we are sometimes helpless. We are impacted by events and decisions which we have no control over. For some of us who think we are in control or those of us who feel like destiny is ours to shape, events over the last year and a half have proven otherwise. Are you equipped for the emotional trauma that has, is, and will continue to occur?
