Ace Hardware Member Update

I looked over the notes you sent and I think the best approach is to keep the plan simple.
I can handle the first part this afternoon, and then tomorrow I will circle back once I hear from the others.
If that timing feels off, let me know and I can switch the order around.
I also wanted to say that your suggestion about breaking it into smaller steps makes a lot of sense.
It will be easier to stay organized that way and less likely that anything gets missed.
I am free later in the evening if you want to talk it through in more detail.
Otherwise I can send a short summary after I finish my side so you have everything in one place.
I do not think this needs to be a big production, just steady follow through and a little patience.

Thank you for being part of the Ace Hardware community.

I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to make sure I had a clear answer instead of sending a quick guess.
From what I can tell, we are mostly aligned and only need to settle the timing.
I am comfortable taking the lead on setup if you want to cover follow-up, and then we can compare notes near the end of the day.
That usually keeps everything moving without too much back and forth.
I also think it would help to write down the handful of priorities before we jump in.
Whenever I skip that step, I end up revisiting small details that should have been obvious from the start.
If you already have a draft, send it over and I will tighten it up.
If not, I can start from scratch and keep it concise so it is easier to review.
