5 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 7 Brief. “We try to keep it brief,” says Hodgson, clarifying that there are links to more detailed information. “Most people depend on us to handle it, they just want to read about what’s happening.” The association also keeps members informed about jurisdictional changes through industry notices, which are sent out more frequently. Hodgson adds, “It’s a fine balancing act, we don’t want to inundate them but you need to communicate enough that you’re letting people know what’s going on.” As far as challenges the industry is facing, Hodgson reports that labor shortages have been an ongoing problem nationwide. He recounts, “It was our number one problem here in Southern Nevada. The weird part is that it’s our number three problem now. I wish I could tell you it’s because it’s gotten better, but it’s because the other two problems jumped over the labor issue, which is supply chain and cost. So, when we get the supply chain issue stabilized, and cost stabilized, labor will once again be my number one issue.”
