Casper's making moves in 2024!

UPDATE FROM OUR CEO

February 2024 Newsletter

Happy February,

Thank you to all of you who attended our Quarterly Breakfast last month. Our team couldn't have imagined kicking off the year any other way or with better partners in our corner.

This month at Advance Casper is full of jet setting and continued connections to support our efforts heading into the season. Stay tuned for our developments as they unfold soon!

Please get involved in our economic development! If you know a company that would be a great fit for Advance Casper, reach out and invite them to our upcoming quarterly cocktails on February 22nd. As always, let us know if you have any questions or comments.

I look forward to working with all of you in Advancing Casper in the coming months.

Best,

Justin
