Volume 4, Issue 12 - December 2009
Greetings, all -
So here we are, coming to the end of another year and another decade. These first ten years of the 21st century have been
a very special decade for us, since InSys was founded in April 2000. We're about to turn ten, believe it or not!
The most important message I can send right now is a simple thank you. That goes out to the members of the InSys
family, as well as to the customers who make it all possible. Most economists believe the recession is about over in the US, even though unemployment is still high. Personally, I think we've learned something from the last 18 months of
melt-down news. Surveys tell us that people are starting to spend again, but they're not going crazy with it. It's a fine line we have to walk to get back to full economic health, but so far, we seem to be on the right path.
In any
case, my best wishes for a happy holiday. And here's to better things in 2010!
Linda Magnusson-Rosario, CEO
