A Word of Thanks
It is with a mixture of pride and a touch of sadness that I write this month’s publisher’s letter. As the publisher of Repertoire Magazine, I have the honor of acknowledging the extraordinary career of a true legend in our industry, Mark Thill, who will be stepping down as editor after 31 remarkable years.
Mark’s name has become synonymous with Repertoire. Since joining our publication, he has penned almost every cover story, a testament to his unparalleled dedication and passion for the medical distribution industry. Over these three decades, Mark has not just reported on the significant developments in our field; he has shaped the conversation, provided invaluable insights, and inspired countless professionals across the United States.
Mark’s commitment extends far beyond his role at the magazine. His deep understanding of the industry, his analytical mind, and his gift for storytelling have earned him a place in the Medical Distribution Hall of Fame. This recognition is a fitting tribute to a man who has devoted his life and career to advancing our field, ensuring that every milestone, challenge, and innovation was documented and celebrated.
As we reflect on Mark’s contributions, we also look at the profound impact he has had on our readers – the 5,000 plus medical distribution sales representatives who rely on Repertoire for information, guidance, and inspiration. Mark’s stories have not only informed but have also connected us, creating a sense of community and shared purpose.
To Mark, we owe a debt of gratitude. Thank you for your tireless efforts, your unwavering commitment, and your extraordinary ability to capture the essence of our industry in every story you wrote. Your work has left an indelible mark on Repertoire and on each of us who had the privilege of reading your articles.
As we move forward with Graham Garrison our managing editor for the past 17 years, we do so with the lessons Mark has imparted to us – the importance of dedication, the value of a well-told story, and the power of connecting with our community. While Mark may be stepping down, his legacy will continue to guide and inspire us in the years to come.
Please join me in extending our heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Mark Thill as he embarks on the next chapter of his journey. Mark, you will be deeply missed, but your influence and spirit will remain a cornerstone of Repertoire.
With deepest gratitude,
Scott Adams
Publisher
