As 2024 comes to a close, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey. Whether you're a dedicated reader, a contributing writer, a valued advertiser or an astute adviser, your support and engagement have been vital to our mission of educating, supporting and connecting professionals, both veterans and newcomers, in the evolving payments and fintech community.
Since our inception in 1983, when The Green Sheet became the first publication dedicated to the education and development of merchant level salespeople and independent sales organizations, we've witnessed an extraordinary evolution in the payments industry. From the days of manual card imprinters—fondly referred to as "knuckle busters"—to today's sophisticated, multifaceted systems, the industry has transformed into something more dynamic and fascinating than we could have ever imagined.
Through it all, The Green Sheet has remained steadfast in its commitment to serve as a trusted resource, offering insights and fostering connections that help businesses grow and adapt to this ever-changing landscape. This would not be possible without the contributions of our industry expert writers, whose wealth of perspectives and hands-on experience bring clarity and depth to complex topics. We are equally grateful to our advertisers, some of whom have partnered with us since those early days in the 1980s. Your continued support enables us to provide the valuable content and tools our readers rely on. These collaborations strengthen not only our publication but the payments industry as a whole.
To our readers, your engagement inspires us daily. You are the heart of this publication, and your commitment to innovation and excellence fuels the industry's progress. As we look ahead to 2025, we remain dedicated to supporting your endeavors and celebrating your successes. May the new year bring growth, innovation, and prosperity to all. Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we make the payments and fintech ecosystem stronger.
Happy New Year!
