Message From The Editor
What is your company’s history?
You may not think you need to assign someone to be your archivist, but I suggest it’s a good idea. Life is full of unexpected surprises and as an editor, you would be surprised at how many highly placed people have never invested in getting themselves a professional portrait. What if you are unexpectedly presented with an award? What if you decide to buy out your competitor, or maybe donate to a worthy cause? Wouldn’t it be smart to have resources handy to send out a simple press release with a digital photo?
I hate to say this but what if something happens and you are no longer around to speak for yourself? Could anyone else tell your story? On the good side, I bet you have had some sort of success that merits recognition. Did you get a photo? Did anyone record the dates and details of the purchase of a new building, the first truck in the fleet, or the first shop space you ever set up?
