Greetings!
As Thanksgiving approaches it causes great reason to pause and reflect upon the endless reasons to be thankful. We are grateful to all our members, community partners, and leaders who make our region a wonderful place to call home. Our staff would like to extend our warmest Thanksgiving wishes and thoughts of gratitude to each of you this holiday season.
Our "All Staff" Office Open House is also just around the corner on Thursday, November 30th from 9:00-10:30. We'd love to see you there and chat about our exciting plans for 2024!
Be sure to RSVP to Emily. We can't wait to get to know you and your business better!
Please note the Growth Alliance office will be closed on
November 23rd & 24th in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Thank you,
Astra Ferris, CEO
Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance
