From everyone at Technologies Management, Inc., we wish you a very happy New Year! 

Read on to review the individual comments regarding 2017 from our entire team of telecom consultants and compliance professionals. Thank you all for reading our blog articles and following us on social media. 

Christina Albertson,  "I can't believe another year has passed us by. I am so looking forward to starting my third year with TMI, this time in a new position, and the learning opportunities 2017 will bring in all aspects of my life. Time to take a deep breath, count your blessings, and do it all over again...Hopefully with less bumps in the road. Happy 2017!"

Pat Atkisson,  "As 2016 closes and 2017 draws near, I will be transitioning from employee to retiree. This is a role that will be filled with new lifestyle changes & experiences, and I am looking forward to this next chapter in my life’s journey!"

Ruth Betsy,   "2016  has not only taught me a lot, but it has also made me appreciate the opportunities that are/were granted to me, people and most importantly life. Often times, we take these things for granted. Not realizing the value each hold or play in our lives, until its gone. My hope for everyone next year is to remember to be grateful, to count everyday as a blessing, to forgive, love and to appreciate those who are placed in our lives."

Cynthia Cintron, "In 2017, I look forward to new adventures and a Happy New Year."

Zach Damario, "I’m looking forward to the new challenges, and opportunities 2017 will bring."

Jennifer Durst-Jarrell,  "Starting a new year is always exciting! A clear calendar (for a few days anyway).  I look forward to the discoveries we will make in 2017. Maybe a new planet? Will we learn more about dark matter and dark energy in the universe? So many things to ponder.

Hopefully, we will all discover the resourcefulness we have always had within ourselves. Maybe we will even be provided with opportunities to have a good laugh – often.  Happy 2017!"

Alex Fernandez,  "As 2016 comes to an end, let us reflect on the many blessing bestowed upon us and hope for the very best in 2017."

Carly Fiola,  "I am thankful for the opportunity to join the TMI family in 2016 and look forward to another great year ahead in 2017. Happy New Year to all!"

Tom Forte,  "I am excited about the prospect of participating in a number of up and coming trade shows in 2017 on behalf of TMI.  Attending ITEXPO, FISPA, WISPA, Channel Partners and INDATEL will give us terrific opportunities to get with current customers, meet prospective customers and solidify key industry partnerships/affiliations. Happy New Year to all my friends, families, Commission contacts, clients, and associates!  Here comes 2017!  Are you ready?"

Debbie Gainor,  "I’m grateful my client’s success has afforded me the opportunity to continue working with them in 2017.  It’s satisfying to know your contribution makes a positive impact.  It’s even a better reward when your client is a pleasure to work with and you enjoy what you’re doing.  My work life was been enhanced since they’ve involved me in their project mid 2016.  I feel extremely blessed that 2017 will hold more of the same. "

Kimberely Geuder,  "This new year will hold many changes for my family, and I look forward to them with both enthusiasm and trepidation. My wish for my TMI family and all of our clients and friends is for a happy, healthy 2017, and may God bless us all as we go!"

Jackie Gilchrist,  "I look forward to spending quality time with my family in 2017 – not counting the moments, but making the moments count!"

Amy Gross,  "2017 brings a new FCC with a new policy agenda.  I can’t wait to see how, and if, they unravel the current FCC’s Open Internet and broadband privacy rules.  And what the new FCC’s business data service (fka special access) rules will look like.  Will this be the year the FCC finally reforms the USF contribution methodology or tells us whether VoIP is a telecommunications service or an information service?    I’m eager to find out!"

Roberta Hughes,  "Enjoy the holidays and have a happy new year."

Ann-Marie Kemp,  "I like change, and have always looked forward to the new year. A time to reflect on the past year and look forward with anticipation to the new.  On a personal level, this year is no exception. HOWEVER, I don't want to reflect on the past year. 2016 was a beat down and it was bloody, albeit mostly my husband's blood. Our house has won. My husband and I finally conceded defeat about mid-November. Each week, it seems,  brought forth a new broken item or another major home task on the to do list.  But for 2017, we're regrouping and calling in re-enforcements...and our bank. Home improvement looks to be the battle cry for 2017. I'm looking forward to the changes."

Tammie King,  "It’s hard to believe 2016 is already coming to an end!  Time certainly does fly when you are having fun!!  And, yes, it has been fun working with all of my compliance reporting clients and of course my TMI family.  I hope everyone has a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2017!"

Trish Kirby,  "I look forward to another wonderful year shared with so many amazing people.  We look forward to many more. Happy New Year to all and thank you for being a part of our TMI lives."

Ricardo Lattimore,  "I wish all of my colleagues here at TMI a very prosperous year, and may we all join forces to get through whatever challenges that may come our way to create an even more productive/successful incorporation."

Michael Lubin, "As 2016 closes, 2017 brings a new year and a blank canvas. I hope to continue to learn and grow with TMI and fill that canvas with more great memories."

Patrick MacNeil,  "I can count many blessings from 2016 and joining TMI is one of them. I have had the opportunity to meet wonderful teammates and customers and look forward to a Productive and Successful 2017!"

Fran Martens, "As 2016 comes to a close, we say goodbye to friends and loved ones who have left us ~ and yet they remain in our hearts always.  A new year ~ 2017 ~ is on the way and the possibilities are endless.  I am especially looking forward to my son and his family moving to the states from the land of camels.  It will be wonderful to have them within a car ride away.  Here at TMI there are more changes than ever before.  A young and vibrant atmosphere keeps us all posed for whatever comes our way. 

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.  Live the life you have imagined.”  Henry David  Thoreau.

Phyllis Miller,  "I always greet the start of a new year with both excitement and a bit of trepidation. It is my hope that 2017 will find you happy, healthy and full of excitement (with a tiny bit of trepidation – it keeps you sharp).   I wish you a Happy and Prosperous 2017!"

Craig Neeld, "Looking forward to a bright 2017, and everything that comes with a new year!"

Margeaux Pennywell,  "Maya Angelou took the words right out of my mouth…My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style."

Karen Ritter,  "Personally, I am glad to put 2016 behind me. The year served as an important reminder to cherish the ones you love and never take them for granted.

It was also the year I embarked on a new adventure – going back to college after 25 years! I’m back at my alma mater (UCF) taking courses for an MBA. I’m amazed how the campus has grown. I was nervous at first and afraid of being the “old lady” in class. But after the first class, it felt oh so familiar again, and my 20+ years’ experience at TMI gave me an advantage in the course. I also met some wonderful students, who helped make the adjustment much easier.  

I look forward to more challenging adventures in 2017!"

Grace Stanley,  "What I look forward to in 2017:
- My daughter, Alex, Graduating from high school and pursuing a degree in TV production/editing.
- My son, Dylan, learning to drive. Watch out!!
- My husband, Brian, remaining cancer free.  Hurray!
- Me going to California in October to celebrate my best friend’s 50th birthday!
- A year filled with good health, peace, and much happiness to all.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!"

Sharon Thomas,  "My son is being deployed to Afghanistan for the second time, so my prayer for 2017 is that he and all of the other servicemen and women who are deployed to dangerous parts of the world serve their country well and return to their families safely."

Connie Wightman,  "I always look forward to the New Year. The concept of starting fresh and writing a new history appeals to me. I have learned in the past couple of years that this point of view is an aspect of personality that has probably been fixed since at least age 7. That means that others among us do not relish change. They are more comfortable with historic reference points and well-worn paths. New and Strange makes these individuals uncomfortable. Perhaps Mark

Twain’s advice may appeal equally to both types: “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives. Similarly be that kind of a friend for your friends.”

May we each find and be such a friend in 2017."

Ken Yeager,  "Admittedly I am not sentimental when it comes to the New Year.  If anything I have become more a curmudgeon regarding the future over the years.  The very thing a young person tells themselves they will never be.  For whatever reason, my ‘crumudgeoning’ also came with a certain amount of reluctance with trusting our youth with our future.  However, as TMI grows, we have had several new, young, fresh faces come aboard at TMI.  I’m here to tell you, they have shattered my negative fear of our youth’s impact on the future.  They amaze me at every turn with their abilities and ideas.  Truly a reason to look forward to the New Year and each thereafter."
