STAFF SPEAKING

Here is a note from the Projects & Executive Coordinator, Felicia Magee:


" One of the projects I've been working on for the past 7 months has been our Top 40 Under 40 initiative and publication. I am so very excited to say that our magazines have been delivered and
this publication is packed with inspiring young professionals!
You could be one of the first to get your hands on a copy if you attend the Top 40 Under 40 Launch party on Thursday. See you there!"
