APRIL 2020 I PCB007 MAGAZINE 39 March 12, 2020 Dear Valued Customers & Partners – When I assumed the position as President and CEO of Burkle North America late last year, I did so with great expectations for a solid 2020. I remain optimistic about all of the industry markets that we serve at BNA. The current COVID‐19 pandemic has, however, impacted all of us personally as well as our business. This situation will be resolved; in the meantime, business will not be "as usual." In an effort to protect our business family, as well as do our part to contain the spread of the virus, we will be reducing travel amongst our BNA team members. Until we know more about the virus, I have asked our BNA account managers and service technicians to consider other options instead of travel, such as conference calls, Skype meetings, and Team Viewer online sessions. In critical cases where travel appears to be the only solution, travel will be allowed if the risk is considered to be low. During this time, our goal is to minimize any impact upon our mutual business while keeping the health and safety of all people as the top priority. In this uncertain period, I have every confidence in our business communities' ability to pull together with care and concern for the common good. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Kurt Palmer President and CEO Burkle North America
