Hello, Small Business Showcase Family!
As the crisp October air settled in and the trees transformed into breathtaking displays of amber, gold, and crimson, it was hard not to pause and appreciate the beauty surrounding us this season. November truly promises a month of reflection, gratitude, and excitement for what lies ahead.
We’re also celebrating some special news! I’m thrilled to introduce Mary Jo Tirikos as our new Business Partner and Operations & Sales Director. Mary Jo brings an incredible energy and passion for helping businesses thrive. Her vision and expertise will be essential in shaping the future of our magazine, and I couldn’t be more excited to have her on our team.
At the same time, it’s bittersweet as we bid a heartfelt farewell to Andy Garza, who is retiring and stepping down as President of Small Business Showcase Digital Magazine. Andy’s leadership and dedication have driven our success, and we’ll miss his guidance. We wish him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter, filled with well-deserved relaxation and enjoyment.
As we gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to appreciate the support around us on this entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a year of challenges, growth, and new beginnings. Whether you’re a seasoned business owner or just starting out, remember to pause, celebrate your wins, and embrace the future with optimism.
From all of us at Small Business Showcase Digital Magazine, we wish you a wonderful holiday season brimming with warmth, laughter, and pumpkin pie. Here’s to gratitude, growth, and the beautiful path ahead.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Warmly,
Deb Ammerman
Creative Director/Editor-in-Chief
