We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone – 20 remarkable years in our community!
Two decades ago, we embarked on this mission with a vision and a dream. Thanks to the unwavering support of our community, dedicated team members, and loyal partners, we’ve achieved so much more than we could have imagined. Join us for a special event to mark this momentous occasion and hear exciting announcements about our expansion and growth.
We’ve planned an evening filled with fun, gratitude, and celebration. The event will take place on December 5, 2024 at the HighFive in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While you enjoy dinner, adult beverages, and networking, we’ll walk through the years honoring those who have made substantial contributions. This night will feature a keynote address by Sandra Lupien, Director of MassTimber at Michigan State University, and the 2024 Leadership Awards Ceremony.
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey. Your trust and support have been the cornerstone of our work in the community. As we celebrate this special occasion, we look forward to many more years of innovation, growth, and collaboration.
Here’s to the next chapter and to continuing to serve you with excellence!
