Ryan Jacquot, owner of MORE Medical, has been one of our first CEO speakers for the last 11 years, so it’s only fitting to kick off year 12 the same way! Thanks for an insightful morning and discussion about business in Hancock County.

Our group was too large to squeeze comfortably into his conference room, so we were fortunate to be the first group to use the brand new community room at the Carthage Public Library! Thanks to Amy Gee for sharing her space in the incredible new library.
