Destination Analysts reports that despite feeling safer and increasingly more positive, many Americans do expect a longer term impact from the pandemic on their travel, from spending less to sticking outdoors. New COVID variants, uncertainty on the current COVID vaccines’ effectiveness with such variants, a European third wave, and Spring Break rowdiness made headlines this week, likely contributing to a small but notable rise in pandemic-related anxiety among American travelers.

Women’s history in the United States has made groundbreaking strides in the last 200 years. From Sojouner Truth’s “ Ain’t I a Woman” speech in 1851 to the 2020 election where Kamala Harris was voted in as the first woman Vice President. Women’s History Month has grown in the last century from one day in 1909, to a week in 1978 , and finally expanded to last the entirety of March in 1987 with a vote from Congress.

The Employer of Choice Trifecta: Culture, Purpose & Employer Brand. Spring is in the air. In addition to the rampant anticipation of more sunlight and better weather, I’ve noticed something else taking root: optimism. Optimism about the “next normal” of this pandemic and what it will bring to people around the world.
