💎 Our Final Business Memo

Good Afternoon,  

Last week, I mentioned there was a big announcement regarding the future of the Business Memo. Today, I’m here to share that news.

After this issue, the Business Memo will be coming to an end.

This hasn’t been an easy decision, and it’s one I’ve thought about deeply. But as I prepare for 2025, it’s become clear that this change is necessary.

In addition to continuing the Community Memo, I’ll be starting a full-time job and serving as Secretary for the Heart of Centerville in the new year. With these new responsibilities, I’ve realized I need to prioritize where I focus my energy. To keep everything balanced, I’ve had to make the tough choice to let the Business Memo go.

Of course, this decision doesn’t come without some sadness.

Creating the Business Memo has been a labor of love, and I’ve truly appreciated the time, energy, and engagement you’ve given over the past few months. The connections and relationships that have grown from this publication have been incredible, and I’m so grateful for that.

While this is goodbye for now, I hope there’s a day when I can revive this newsletter with the resources and team it deserves. But for now, this is the right choice.

If you’d like to stay connected, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out anytime at [email protected] or on LinkedIn.

And if you’re looking for a way to take a break from the grind and explore fun things to do around town, consider signing up for the Community Memo. You’ll still hear from me every week, sharing local events and activities from around the Miami Valley. Sign up for free here.

For our last time, here’s a round-up of upcoming networking events!
