Just a few thoughts
The holiday season is in full swing, and for many it’s a time to focus on family, friends, and community.
Here at CBJ we’d like to take a moment to thank our team for their hard work and dedication all year: Joe Robinson, who leads our editorial and data analysis; Naomi Stevens, who handles our gym writeups, social media, and more; John Burgman, who hosts podcasts, writes breaking news as well as many features; Jamie Strong, who crafts many of our graphics and brings marketing wisdom; Scott Rennak, who directs our operations, customer service, and sales; Amalia Wompa, who collected data and photos this summer; our team of awesome contributors including Holly Yu Tung Chen, Jonathan Littauer, Louie Anderson, Jason Chang, Jackie Hueftle, Jason Pill, and Emma Walker; and special thanks to Gavin Heverly for sharing his vast expertise through our webinars this year. You all rock, we couldn’t do it without you!
We wish you a happy holidays!
