LETTER FROM CEO AARON MCARDLE
It’s a new year with new goals. And while we are all looking for ways to make ourselves better – whether it’s getting in shape, kicking a bad habit or even trying something new – now is also the perfect time to take a look at your meeting spaces and figure out what you’ll need to make 2022 a successful year. 

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to chat with your end-users to better understand how they are using – or potentially not using – their meeting spaces, and what changes may be needed. 

As always, if you support getting your rooms ready to take on 2022, know that we are always available to help.

Sincerely,
Aaron McArdle
CEO, RoomReady
