Possibility. If Lowell was going to capture what 2021 is bringing with it – there is amazing potential and possibility. Many norms which were calcified in associations’ systems simply because of inertia have become dislodged. Over the past 10 months, associations have had to change so frequently the word ‘pivot’ has become hated.
