CEO Spotlight

Sandra Iskandar


Howdy Y'all, Happy October!
 
I wanted to take a moment to extend my sincerest gratitude to each of you for attending our "Meet the CEO" event on September 18th. Your presence, participation, and sponsorship made the evening not only enjoyable and successful but also incredibly impactful and special. We shared a room full of Aspiring Entrepreneurs, Field Representatives, Family, Friends, Local Residents, Business Owners, Partners, City Representatives, and our very own Board of Directors accompanied by our Ambassadors.
 
The atmosphere was not only welcoming, but showed an abundance of support and love from each of you.
 
It was a privilege to engage with so many passionate and dedicated individuals who share a vision for our community's growth and prosperity. I am genuinely excited to be stepping into this role, and I wholeheartedly believe that together, we can achieve remarkable things. The synergy between local businesses and community members is vital, and I am eager to foster relationships that will lead to innovative solutions and collaborative opportunities.
 
As we move forward, I am committed to ensuring that our partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and mutual support. The insights and feedback shared during our discussions were valuable, and I am eager to integrate your ideas into our initiatives. Together, we will create a vibrant environment that not only supports our local economy but also enriches the lives of all our residents and all that they have to offer.
 
I thank you for welcoming me with such open arms and gratitude,
 
The best is yet to come!

Sandra Iskandar
