Editor's Message

Summertime and Extensions is…Changing
As many of you know, we do not publish our Extensions newsletter in July. This year, however, you will see a new face on our August newsletter. As we continue our integration into the larger Trimble family, Extensions will bring the QuickPen brand into the fold, providing you, our subscribers, with a larger offering of industry information and valuable tidbits. We are excited about this change and look forward to hearing your feedback when we return from our summer hiatus — refreshed and rebranded. We wish you all a safe and enjoyable summer.
