NEW YORK—On Father's Day weekend, many independents across the industry took to social media to show some love to their dads. In honor of Father’s Day, many shared stories of how their dads inspired their personal decision to join the industry, or just shared sweet, touching photos with the men in their lives. Although not everyone could be with their father, there was no shortage of love and sweetness, despite social distancing. Here’s a look at some of the independent ECPs who took a moment to celebrate Dad.
