Happy new year, NTCA members! I know the next year comes around like, well, clockwork, but somehow it always seems to amaze me that we are back at the start of another new year. Of course, this is a time for resolu- tions that often get abandoned two weeks into the new year. But I am curi- ous, have you ever made a business resolution that you actually kept (or a personal one, for that matter)? If so, would you be willing to share that with TileLetter readers? What was your reso- lution, why did you make it and how did you implement it in your business? Here at TileLetter, we have made some resolutions for 2018 that we do plan to keep. For years TileLetter was a news magazine that brought you information about things going on in the industry as well as technical and business stories and tips to improve your business. With today’s technology and digital news vehicles, we are changing the focus of TileLetter and how we bring you information: • TileLetter.com brings you daily updatesonbreakingnews,announce- ments and timely information for our industry. Log in from phone, tablet or computer to see what’s new each day. • TileLetter Weekly and Enews & Views are short, digital newsletters that come out weekly, to alert you to significant developments and time- sensitive information in our industry. • TileTV is a concise video-format news magazine that’s available monthly, with convention and con- ference coverage, demos and the popular “Question Mark” feature in which NTCA Training Director Mark Heinlein answers your queries. • Of course, there are our Facebook pages – National Tile Contractors Association, NTCA Members Only and TileLetter, which also bring you timely stories and articles. As for TileLetter, we are making the move to become more of a technical/ educational journal. We’ll still have News and Product briefs, with a short description and links to full stories on tileletter.com. But our printed content is looking to be more of a reference docu- ment – something you can come back to again and again for help in a chal- lenging project or for information about more efficient business operations. We’ll also focus more keenly on our members, and their projects and showcase their work in the pages of TileLetter. So expect some changes, and let us know what you think. One of the stories I’d like to bring your attention to in THIS issue is the Tile Geeks Project technical project. This amazing labor of love brought together a group of tile professionals who enjoy working and networking EDITOR’S LETTER Lesley A. Goddin “Whatever you do or dream you can do – begin it.
