Message from John Holden
Yes... still the new guy. If you were at the Business Appreciation Reception (see video) you know I am still the new guy (exactly how many days). Seriously-the Reception was fantastic and thank you to all who were able to make it and learn from our guests, our award winners, and network with one another.
It is all about ideas, creativity, and networking. In fact, I am writing my comments from a conference with international companies seeking US expansion-together with our friends and colleagues from VEDP and around the Commonwealth.
Please take a moment to consider "What's Next" for your business and Stafford. And do not hesitate to share it with our office or others in your network and the community.
