Dear Readers,
As the holiday season begins, I am reminded why November is one of my favorite times of the year. Thanksgiving provides a meaningful opportunity to pause, reflect and express gratitude for the many blessings in our lives. At Strictly Business, we are honored to dedicate this issue to recognizing those who make a difference in profound ways.
First and foremost, we pay special tribute to our veterans. Their sacrifices allow us to enjoy the freedoms we hold dear. In this issue, you’ll find a special feature honoring veteran on page 46. We are grateful for their courage, dedication and service, and we hope this tribute serves as a reminder of the respect and gratitude they deserve year-round.
With the season of giving upon us, we’ve also curated some great ideas to make your gift-giving more meaningful this year with a special emphasis on buying local. From thoughtful presents to holiday planning strategies, this issue is packed with inspiration to help you create your perfect holiday story. Whether it’s organizing festive events or preparing for time with loved ones, now is the time to plan and celebrate the moments that matter.
At Strictly Business, we are grateful for our clients, partners and readers who continue to inspire us throughout the year. As we prepare for the holidays, we encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your own blessings and to give back where you can.
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with joy, gratitude and meaningful connections!
Warmest regards,
Paige Zutavern
President, Strictly Business
