You know, it's not about the facilities as much as it's the people that work in them, the people that run them. People who are doing the day-to-day."(13:00) - Bill Yanek"We put out our magazine, we put out our videos, we put out our virtual events, but nothing replaces talking to people like you face-to-face, even though we really didn't get face-to-face or connect."(17:51) - Bill Yanek"Not everyone is the same type of multi-site facility, manager or supplier. We have different ecosystems and communities within our membership."(26:42) - Bill Yanek"We're definitely going to have some virtual events, probably some hybrid, but the bread and butter of our organization will always be facilitating those face-to-face connections."(30:07) - Bill Yanek
