Happy Monday Morning,  

Welcome to another issue of Miami Valley Business Memo! Every week, we let you know where to go to network and grow in the Miami Valley.

Thanks to everyone who took last week’s survey about what new content we should create. Interviews with local business owners was the clear winner, which is what I expected. Racking my brain on what this will look like, but it will come with some other changes to Business Memo soon.

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving, and use that turkey time to rest & recharge!

Let’s get to it!
