Yes, I am still the New Guy! And excited to share with all of you my thoughts at the May 15 annual Business Appreciation Reception (see above). In addition to honoring two special Stafford businesses, we will share some of the work we have accomplished in the last 12 months. We will also be sharing some ideas with all of you about three of the interesting entrepreneurs I have had the pleasure to meet in these last many months-talk with them about their experience in Stafford.
I am truly excited and honored, in my role, to serve the citizens and business community of Stafford. I believe we have tremendous potential to foster and encourage expanded entrepreneurship and community. I look forward to seeing you at the BAR (yes, we call it the "BAR"). And, if not, ask you to consider, What's Next?
