Hello Dear Colleagues, Clients and Friends
Happy Summer!
Not only has the weather been getting hotter, its seems that the business climate for many has been too!
For me, summer usually means more travel. Business recently took me to Phoenix, L.A., next up is Chicago, happily interrupted by a vacation in Cancun later next month.
I'd love to hear from you and stay connected!
As always, wishing you the very best.
Allison
