Dear Ib’s Blog Readers,
One of the most touching stories so far this year is the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti. Our prayers go to the survivors and all those involved in the rescue and humanitarian efforts. The Haiti disaster is the lead story in this second edition of Ib’s Blog newsletter. I wrote on some of the heartbreaking effects, remarkable stories, and hope for the future.
On January 7, I covered SmartCEO’s Future 50 Awards Gala in Baltimore and did exclusive interviews with some of the honorees. The Future 50 program recognizes 50 fastest growing companies in the Greater Baltimore region based on revenue and employee growth over the past three years. Five companies were honored as Emerging Growth Winners. The 55 companies in total employ more than 5,500 individuals and generate more than $2.5 billion in revenue.
You will also find exclusive interviews with some of the nation’s finest business leaders who are defying the odds in tough economic times and thriving in a competitive environment.
Quinn Salamandra, Co-CEO of Corporate Brokers, LLC., told Ib’s Blog that the economy is better than it was six months ago and companies are beginning to hire again; Natalie Cofield, president of NMC Consulting, INC., spoke exclusively to Ib’s Blog about her organization’s new initiatives on economic development, entrepreneurship, and community-related programming.
February’s newsletter promises more exclusive interviews, reports, and a coverage of conferences, seminars and other events. 2010 is a year of much success, and the journey has only begun.
Sincerely,
Ibrahim Dabo
