The holiday season is a special time of year that brings joy to many people, and as President and CEO of GAI Consultants (GAI), I’d like to take a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are as a company.
To our dedicated employees, loyal clients, and faithful business partners—I am extremely proud of our efforts and achievements. 2016 has truly been a good year for GAI. In fact, our financial results will actually improve from 2015, which makes 2016 yet another record year. We adapted to various challenges and managed difficult situations while capitalizing on opportunities. Below are just some of the positive things we’ve experienced together—both tangible and intangible:
- Achieved success both financially and in terms of client and employee satisfaction.
- Expanded our geographic reach and services.
- Saw positive gains in ESOP and direct stock value.
- Worked hard to keep our clients happy.
- Won projects with new clients.
- Welcomed new GAI employees into the GAI family.
- Gave charitably of our time and in donations.
Please join me for this quick look back at some of what we have accomplished together over the past year by viewing our special 2016 Year-in-Review video.
2017 Outlook for GAI
With the incoming administration’s promise of deregulation and increased infrastructure spending, America’s cities, highways, airports, and energy producers should see many positive changes. GAI is poised to grow through this anticipated period of economic prosperity. As always, our approach is to grow smart and evaluate risks that come with new opportunities. Overall, I have an optimistic outlook for our continued success in 2017, and I look forward to sharing more information as we enter into the new year!
Thank you all for contributing to GAI’s continued growth and success and helping to position our company where it is today. I hope everyone has a safe and joyous holiday season and a healthy and prosperous new year!
