THE RIPPLE EFFECT

One purchase, one referral, one introduction, one sponsorship, one job created...each sends numerous positive ripples outward into our community.

Every day, we have opportunities to create a positive ripple in our community.


It can start with something simple. Make an introduction between two people who should know each other. Refer a customer to another local business. Attend a ribbon cutting. Share someone’s social media post. Offer encouragement to a new business owner. Choose to spend your dollars locally when you can.


One introduction can lead to a new partnership. One referral can become a long-term customer. One local purchase supports a business, a job, and a family. That is the ripple effect, and each of us has the ability to start one.

As we head into the final months of 2026, I hope we will look for opportunities to create those ripples. Reach out. Show up. Make the connection. Celebrate someone’s success.


Together, those small actions create momentum that strengthens our businesses, grows our economy, and makes Iron County an even better place to live and work.
