What is your favorite line from the Rea Way and why?

"Embrace change. Be open to the possibilities." Over my 30-year career here at Rea, I have seen and experienced a lot of change. Generally speaking, those of us in our industry don't seem to naturally love change, but I have come to learn the importance and value of embracing change and being open to what could be. Our firm wouldn't be where it is today without this notion and I'm excited to see where it will take our firm into the future!
