Welcome to the Winter Edition of SPARK
Reflecting on 2022 it would be easy to focus on the significant challenges of COVID, economic turbulence, political instability, and rising costs of business. While these are undeniable, the recognition of opportunity such flux brings and the underlying confidence expressed by members of the UWSP community have been encouraging.
The UWSP team itself has experienced significant change in leadership as stalwart colleagues stepped out of the business to be succeeded by new ambitious talent who will drive the next phase of UWSP development.
Our cautious positivity & confidence is being driven based on the achievements of our community and team, some of which are evident in this issue of Spark.
We hope you find the newsletter useful and informative. We encourage you to submit your own stories for consideration for the next edition of SPARK or give us your feedback. Please use the links at the bottom of this newsletter to do so.
