providing agencies with some successful sales pitch templates
(email pitches only). It would also be really helpful if you
could share the reasons why your suggested pitches worked (e.g.
informal language, lack of emojis, etc.). Perhaps you could also
share some information regarding things to avoid (maybe based on
trial and error processes you implemented). Any kind of
information is much appreciated!

Query:
For UNITS magazine and the National Apartment Association, this
article looks at the influx of packages during COVID-19.
Packages have been the problem that won't go away for the
apartment industry, but how has COVID-19 made this issue even
more challenging now? How are apartment operators dealing with
the deluge that comes from residents spending more time at home
and ordering more items online? What are operators doing in
terms of policies with residents and procedures with staff as
stopgap steps to mitigate the situation? Are operators
renovating or retrofitting existing space to deal with more
packages? What creative workarounds have onsite staff come up
with to deal with the problem? How have existing or already
installed third-party package locker solutions performed -- have
they been able to keep up? What next generation solutions are
being offered or proposed today? Are there other aspects of this
issue I should consider while reporting and writing this
article? I'd like to talk with apartment firm executives about
how they're dealing with packages during the pandemic. Please
contact Joe Bousquin at joe@ameredit.com.

Query:
I'm interested in how BLM may be highlighting and/or increasing
the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in
corporate ESG/CSR reports. For example, is there now - or will
there be in the next year - more of a push to strengthen this
portion of ESG disclosures? Are there any examples of companies
that do a good job of this aspect of ESG reporting now? What
should CSR teams be doing to improve their own DEI reporting?
For organizations that are just getting started with this, or
haven't yet reported this data, what are some tips or best
practices to get started?

Would prefer sources who are accountants - specifically CPAs or
