However, in not wanting to remain stag-nant for too long, we have decided to shake things up a bit. This issue still contains the Directory Of Manufacturers And Distributors and the Directory Of Associations and Conventions, but will also include some insightful analysis from our editorial staff. Having conversed with numerous indus-try professionals — from in-house pro-fessionals to building service contractors (BSC) and manufacturers to consultants — in the past year, we feel that we have a firm grasp on the current and developing trends shaping our industry. Our thoughts on the 2011 ISSA/ INTERCLEAN North America trade show, general industry happenings and events reported in the news can all be read in this issue. We strive to deliver you the highest quality content in numerous formats on a consistent basis to make your job easier, more intuitive and, ultimately, more fulfilling. Expanding the issue you are currently reading to better reflect our stated aims is our way of saying, “Thank you for your continued patronage and unbridled enthu-siasm in our products.” We have some exciting things in store for 2012 and, without letting the cat entirely out of the bag, let me just say that we will continue to do what we do best — only better. (516) 404-4532 ext. 3157 Collectively, we can turn the economic frown upside down and achieve custodial greatness. ext. 3154 (256) 715-0342 ext. 3153 T We Want To Hear From You The Cleaning & Maintenance Management magazine community is only as effective as its participants.
