Happy New Year
At the risk of jinxing it, 2020 is finally coming to a close...
As I look ahead, I’m feeling excited and ready for all that’s to come in the new year. I realize how much appreciation I have for the people on this wild ride with me.
Our team: working tirelessly, practically non-stop, being especially gracious with the curveballs pitched our way in these most unpredictable times. In our nearly 70-year history, we’ve never had more employees spread across more cities, making the most of the virtual time we spent together. To say I’m proud of this group would be a huge understatement. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together in 2021!
Our clients: friends we’ve had for years and new ones who’ve joined us in the past few months, we thank you for your trust. We are here for you - just a video conference, phone call or email away. We worked with some of you to scale your organizations differently, transitioning your team members to new roles or responsibilities in the best possible ways. Like us, many of you are expanding -- I think this was among the best surprises from 2020. We’re grateful to be part of your growth. To all our clients, thank you for your partnership!
Our partners: some of my favorite moments in 2020 were the times I got to spend, albeit virtually, with our partners. It was terrific seeing you on a more regular basis, adjusting from a once- or twice-a-year dinner to a monthly wine or whiskey catch-up, screen to screen. We made our partnerships work better than ever, and I thank you for your continued friendships.
I’m looking forward to 2021, committed as ever to helping clients and officially celebrating our 70th anniversary. Cheers to a brand-new year, from my family to you and your loved ones!

Happy New Year Joe! Thinking of all the years of working hand and hand with you, your dad, Cathy and the entire shaker Team, so many of who are still there. You always made me feel like part of the family and welcomed me in to your offices as I traveled from Los Angeles, Chicago or Ohio. Thank you for the fond memories of working together. Happy New Year 2021 to you and the entire Shaker Family and Team!
