There is no denying that globalization has greatly increased economic <br />instability for thousands and thousands of members in our workforce. <br />Our traditional business partners and corporations have seen life on the <br />hard court, (their playing field), change with the global marketplace. <br />Our communities are also no strangers to what this ‘change’ has meant <br />in defining our times. To stay competitive, our corporations have <br />downsized, automated, outsourced and looked offshore. <br />Simultaneously, we’ve also seen new innovation, research and <br />development opportunities as well as a practical effort of re-invention. <br />Today, a devastating economic and credit crunch has also taken hold. <br />Unfortunately, it has taken not only a hold on our access to funding, <br />and humbled investments, but it has also taken hold on consumer <br />confidence. Consumers are ever more wary to make those purchases, <br />big or small. And as our business community has often reminded me, it <br />is playing against the traditional curve of demand and supply upon <br />which many of us have come to rely. Without question, our times are <br />shaping into a leaner and meaner state of business as they honestly <br />reflect the times we live in. <br /> <br /> <br />
