Hi there!

In this week's newsletter we share with you a wide range of stories, from feel-good innovation coming out of the nonprofit sector to honoring local female business leaders here in Orange County.

Branding and design agencies have been hot in recent weeks - we have two separate 2-for-1 deals with outside buyers snapping up OC-based companies.

If you are actively job hunting or just keeping your options open, take a look at our curated postings below for marketing or software engineering roles.

Be sure to also scroll down to check out our event list - some great networking and learning opportunities. If you have anything you'd like to promote that we missed, please let us know with a reply.

Thanks and happy reading,
Ne al

P.S. If you like what we're doing we would love it if you could help us get the word out - forward this to a friend or share the page link to this newsletter on your social channels. We appreciate it!
