Welcome to 2023!
First off Happy New Year. I hope your holidays went well and left you invigorated for the coming year. As we begin a new year, I certainly feel excitement and see a ton of potential for the coming year. No question that there will be challenges as we continue to fully recover from the last few years, but the energy I felt at the close of 2022 left me feeling confident that the electrical market is well positioned. And as I have said on many occasions, the industry we serve is long term solution to many of our issues. In the first issue of the year, we both look back at the closing of 2022 and look ahead at some of the coming trends. Enjoy! |
