If you’re like me, you’re away from your computer on the first day of October, choosing instead to attend the industry’s annual trade show, the Building Component Manufacturers Conference (BCMC). Held in Omaha, Nebraska this year, it has promised to be an exciting event.

To Publish or To Wait

Although we could have held back this October issue so we could include photos from the big show, we realize that not everyone is able to attend. We know there are many readers still in the office this week, by choice or necessity. Plus, we always aim to publish on the first of the month, which has been the tradition since Thom switched to monthly issues way back in January 2013.

Always Another Month in View

Always aiming for the first of the month highlights a very important benefit of our magazine – there’s always another issue on the horizon. Although that could be seen as a burden, it’s actually an opportunity. It means that we’re always ready to accept more news, updates, and stories, so if you miss one deadline, you can shoot for the next!

This fall marks 10 years for me at The Advertiser. Yes, my first issue was December 2015! Many things have changed over the years…but many things remain the same. Our industry is still filled with hard-working, dedicated professionals who are committed to doing a good job for themselves, their companies, and their customers. We have much to be proud of, and to celebrate, in our industry. So, let’s hear more of it! Please send me your thoughts and let everyone know what you would like to say in our open forum. Do you have a story from BCMC you would like to share? Is there someone at your company who deserves recognition? Are you looking for feedback or have suggestions to give?

Importantly, The Advertiser will fit into your schedule when you’re ready to contribute. If you aim for one month and fall behind – not to worry, another month will be coming up next. On the road or in the office, we’ll be here for you. What will you say in our pages?
