 One of our firm’s core values is “Flexibility: Because all we have in this world is change, both within and without. We value the opportunity to flex and grow with your business, adapt to the needs of the moment.”
I feel as if this is the perfect opportunity to embrace change and enact flexibility. We are lucky because our firm has already been operating with employees who work remotely. No scrambling or major operations had to change due to our recommended societal adjustments. With the current health concerns we have decided to close our Whitefish office to protect both our Clients and our Staff. Our Kalispell branch is minimally staffed as of now, but we are encouraging all communications going forward to be either via phone or video conferencing. Please know we will continue to serve and support you with the same high standards that we have always delivered. Remember that we can accept sensitive documents through our secure link at the bottom of our email signatures. We are available by phone, text, email or fax if you have any questions or concerns. If you have to leave a message, know we will get back to you within 24 hours. I would like to leave you on a positive note and share a bit from our last staff meeting. I asked each of our team to share how they have seen something positive come from this difficult situation in our world today. They each shared a common thread of seeing our community and people that we serve become more grateful, patient, and compassionate with communication. Please continue to support and hold space for those around you. We are all in this together. I hope that you may look to the light in these darker times and find ways to pause with gratitude. Stay safe through these hard times. Sarah |
