New Initiatives Deliver More Value
One of the exciting things about leading the Smart Card Alliance is the “newness” of what we do. While the staff works on events, councils, activities and programs, they also are fine-tuning, expanding, and thinking of ways of how to continue to provide our members with more value. This applies to new initiatives as well. I talk more about this in my letter in the May issue of Smart Card Talk. I invite you to reach out to me at this month’s NFC Solutions Summit and tell me what’s on your mind. As always, thank you for your support of the Alliance.
