The 50th State | Fly the flag 🇺🇸 Back in 1959, Hawaii officially became the 50th state, marking a significant moment in American history. The inclusion of Hawaii not only completed the map but also added richness to the nation’s cultural & geographical diversity. This moment serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of #integration and #adaptability. Just as the US embraced a new state, organizations must welcome new #ideas, #strategies, and #tools to remain #competitive. When we integrate diverse #perspectives and #innovative #solutions into our sales strategies, we create a more #dynamic and #resilient team, capable of #thriving in an ever-changing #market. As we reflect on Hawaii’s admission to the Union, let’s also consider how we can embrace new #opportunities and #perspectives to strengthen our own “flag” of success.

🗺 Did you know... it took 172 years for all 50 states to be added to the Union. The islands of Hawaii were the last state to join the U.S. on August 21, 1959. Wow - so cool. I must have missed this day in History class. LOL Why not turn this interesting information into a bit of #resident #trivia and have some fun with this? When Did U.S. States Become States? by Katharina Buchholz, Sep 17, 2024 Just like Rome, the United States wasn't built in a day – in fact it took 172 years for all 50 states to be added to the Union. The islands of Hawaii were the last state to join the U.S. on August 21, 1959. 13 colonies initially drafted and ratified the United States Constitution. Those turned into the first 13 states of the U.S. – Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, North and South Carolina, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island. This process took from 1787 to 1790. Vermont was the next one to join, and did so in 1791, followed by Kentucky and Tennessee before the turn of the century. By 1850, the U.S. had 31 states, with California having joined that year. In 1900, it counted 45 states, the last addition being Utah in 1896. Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico joined by 1912, completing the lower 48. It wasn’t until 1959 that Alaska and Hawaii became U.S. states. The idea to establish Alaska as a state was rejected by many in Congress at first, given the large-scale exploitation of Alaskan natural resources that an independent state could have sought to regulate. In the case of Hawaii, which became a territory in 1900 after annexation, several attempts at statehood fell flat because of plantation businesses thought to be running more smoothly outside of state regulations. Today, the U.S. still has control over five populated overseas territories (Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Mariana Islands).

Dear Mr. President, I would like to express profound gratitude for your lifelong career of remarkable service to the American public. Your leadership has driven significant accomplishments, from economic growth to social justice, and from environmental protection to international diplomacy. As detailed in The Record, your administration has achieved numerous milestones that have left a lasting impact on the nation. Under your leadership, the economy has seen revitalization through historic job creation and a significant reduction in unemployment rates. Your policies have helped create millions of jobs, bringing unemployment to its lowest levels in decades. Economic measures such as the American Rescue Plan provided crucial support during challenging times, enabling businesses to recover and thrive. Your commitment to national security and strengthening international alliances has been unwavering. Through strategic partnerships and diplomatic efforts, you have bolstered the nation's defense and enhanced global stability. Your steadfast focus on strengthening NATO has been particularly important, reaffirming the United States' commitment to collective security and ensuring that the alliance remains a cornerstone of international stability. Your administration's focus on cybersecurity and counterterrorism has kept the country safe from emerging threats. Recognizing the urgency of climate change, you have championed climate action and clean energy initiatives. Rejoining the Paris Agreement and implementing the Clean Energy Plan are testaments to your dedication to protecting the environment. These efforts have set ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources, securing a sustainable future for generations to come. Investments in infrastructure and innovation have been cornerstones of your presidency. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has paved the way for modernizing transportation, broadband, and public utilities, fostering economic growth and improving the quality of life for Americans. Initiatives to support technological advancements and research have positioned the United States as a leader in innovation. However, there comes a time when even the most dedicated leaders deserve to step back and savor their achievements. It's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, spend cherished moments with your children and grandchildren, and reflect on the indelible mark you’ve left on our nation. Your legacy is one of progress, resilience, and unwavering dedication to the American people. As you consider the next chapter, please know that your contributions will be remembered and celebrated for years to come. Thank you once again for your unwavering commitment and service, Mr. President – You ARE Remarkable! #unitedstates #President #Freedom #Democracy

The future is truly North thanks to organizations like Bartlett Regional Hospital, Arctic Slope Native Association, Norton Sound Health Corporation, among others, who are making essential investments in our state's future. Links to the digital version of these articles are in the comments below (the print edition for this month is available now, as well.) 👇

This quote has resonated with me a lot in the context of this ESOMAR re-election. It highlights the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. It reminds us that we may face challenges, but how we respond to them defines us. By rising after each fall, we can ultimately emerge as a winner and achieve our goals. As I am re-running for this election, I am more resilient, committed, and determined to serve this wonderful industry if elected. I used to think I was not cut out for this; however, ESOMAR has always inspired me with a sense of community, the best practices, standards, guidelines, ideas, and collaboration they bring to the market research industry. Therefore, this is the best opportunity to contribute in whichever way I can. The world has faced immense challenges in the past few years, and the research industry has been no exception. In these trying times, we must stand tall and demonstrate leadership in adversity. I am committed to leading with grace and humility and working collaboratively with our community to navigate these uncertain waters. Integrity is at the heart of our industry, and we must prioritise it in all that we do. I will work tirelessly to promote ethical research practices and to ensure that our industry is held to the highest standards.
