Dear Esteemed AFCC-California Members, The world generally and the world in which we work can sometimes seem like a very dark place. Extremists shout down those wanting to investigate shades of gray. Old Manichean ideas of good and evil, winners and losers, sinners and saints, are everywhere. Just read any Yelp review!

There was finally a light at the end of the COVID tunnel, or so it seemed.

In fact, I think we all would agree that we are looking forward to December 31, 2020 not so much to ring in the new year but to boot out the old. The deafening whooshing sound around midnight will not be the escape of champagne from bottles, but more likely our collective sigh of relief to see 2020 in the rearview mirror. Having said […]
Read More This is my first, and very brief, President’s Message; I hope you enjoy reading this issue of AFCC-CA Insights. According to urban legend, Steve Jobs once famously said that the way to predict the future is to create it. In fact, this quote’s provenance may reach as far back as Abraham Lincoln, perhaps even earlier. Regardless of where the sentiment comes from, in 2020 we need to sit up and take notice. At our recent […]

Happy New Year AFCC-CA Members and Friends. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season filled with happiness and time spent with loved ones. It is always around this time of year that we look back at all we have accomplished, the obstacles we had to overcome, and what caused us the most happiness, strife, fear and joy over the year. We make New Years’ resolutions and decide what our goals will be for […]
Read More Happy Summer AFCC-CA Members! I hope you have all been able to take a break from work to enjoy time with your family and friends this summer.
