The Roanoke Times has a great article this morning featuring companies in our region that are making big progress, despite the recession. We're lucky enough to be a featured company, but regardless, this is an important article. It seems that nearly every day I read the local paper its all about doom and gloom. Layoffs, bankruptcies, companies disappearing overnight. What a bummer. We need to continue to highlight all of the good stuff going on, too. There is a lot of it. While it may not be as fun to talk about, its important. Thanks to the Roanoke Times for taking notice.

Agreed, Pat - I wrote on Anne Clelland's blog this morning (http://www.handshake20.com/2009/01/rnr-three-initiatives.html) that I've heard there is an increase in small business startup during economic downturns. While I think the RNR is not facing the same challenges, I DO believe there are great things happening here that are being overlooked. Thanks for pointing this one out - I might have missed it.
