elcome to a new year and to the 2021 edition of In Compliance Magazine’s Annual Reference Guide!

In so many ways, 2020 has been a year like none that any of us have ever experienced. From the earliest indications about the emergence of a potentially deadly virus in January and February, through the rapid, deadly spread of COVID-19 in major metro areas in the Spring and elsewhere in the country during the summer months, the lucky among us struggled to cope with the “new normal,” balancing responsibilities at work and home and doing our best to chart a path forward in the face of continued uncertainty.

And the stress has been even greater for those working in the hardest hit sectors of our economy. Even now, too many people are waking up each day not knowing when or how they’ll be able to make their rent or mortgage payments or put food on the table for their families.

Although we still have a long way to go, science and scientists have once again provided us with light at the end of the tunnel. The regulatory approval of innovative vaccines toward the end of the year, and the promise of additional vaccines in the pipeline, have given all of us hope that 2021 will be a year of healing and renewed economic certainty, and will provide us with the resilience to face new challenges along the way.

As we begin a new year, all of us here at In Compliance Magazine are eternally grateful to all our partners for their support in helping us and our publication survive and even thrive during 2020. Our readers continue to provide important guidance for our editorial coverage with their comments and suggestions. Our advertisers’ financial support makes this adventure possible. And, lastly, our editorial contributors’ commitment to sharing their knowledge and expertise in our pages makes In Compliance Magazine the trusted source for news and information in our field.

Our heartfelt thanks to all of you! And may only good things come your way in the year ahead!

Sincerely,
