I know some may not have sports this fall, so take time By: Mike Thar out of your week call your employees and check on them. We all Manager, Clemson University should use this time to build those relationships with staff and NACC Treasurer volunteers. In the long run it will help when sports start back, they will be more willing to help or work for you because you did take that time The definition of normalcy is “the quality or condition of being and check on them and their families. normal, as the general economic, political, and social conditions of a nation; normality.” In concessions words, sports and fans at our athletic events means normalcy. As we all know full stadiums and arenas are in the past for now. So how do we cope in this new normalcy you ask? Remember the big picture of things as we all begin fall/winter sports. You may be stressed on the inside, but you need to portray that happy cheerleader to not just your staff but also your vendors and non-profit volunteers. Non-Profit groups are essential to our business. Here at Clemson we are looking out for those groups working football and helping this year. We are raising the percentage they get back this year and raised the minimums so they will reflect a three-year average.
