This week's post comes from Michael Pugh, Owner of Pugh's Flowers: Operating a florist business in Memphis is more than just a job; it’s a true passion and commitment that I have made as has my family done for decades. We have an obligation to the communities we serve to provide the best quality, value, and service possible. We have an obligation to the communities we serve to provide the best quality, value, and service possible. I take being part of the florist industry seriously and enjoy the insights and networking I have with other florists that share my philosophy. Together, we have helped to elevate the standard of quality and service within our industry, proving that more can be accomplished when we work together. While you may not realize it, the florist industry is impacted in many ways by what happens in Washington. These regulatory changes then influence what we can provide for you, our customers. With changes in administration, it’s never been a more important time to get involved and take a stand for the floral industry. That’s why I participated in the Congressional Action Days last year and plan to do the same again. That’s why I participated in the Congressional Action Days last year and plan to do the same again. While I was nervous about meeting with members of Congress since I was no expert on policy, it turned out to be easier than I thought. The great conversations I had were beneficial for speaking out on behalf of all florists and in helping me gain a new understanding of the legislation and how it will affect my flower shops here in Memphis. Be sure to check out my YouTube video, which describes how I felt about my participation in the Congressional Action Days. This year, I plan to attend the Congressional Action Days again now with more confidence and insight on what I can accomplish. I will travel to Washington, D.C. for this event, which will be held March 13-14, 2017. I will have others from our Memphis flower locations attend with me so they can learn like I have about how we can get more involved in shaping our democracy as a nation.
