One week ago today I celebrated five years with The Argus Foundation. I am very proud to be a part of such a great organization that cares deeply about our community and our future. This organization has been a catalyst for change and had a tremendous positive impact on our quality of life.

The Argus Foundation has had a strong 2019 and we accomplished a lot. We tackled important community issues through business leadership, had a strong year for educating our community through our columns and prominent guest speakers, and we are financially healthy with a secure and quality growing membership.

From preserving administrative review and adhering to the promises of the downtown masterplan, making sure mobility fees were properly implemented on the county level, co-founding and implementing a workforce training program in Newtown, getting the county to adhere to its priority of water quality and allocating dollars to septic tank replacement, to accountability in our school system and local government, we were there and taking strong positions.
