Note from the NNBV Publisher: May 2019

Hello and thank you. I would like to take this time to personally thank businesses that have supported the NNBV by placing their advertising dollars with us on a consistent basis.

You have choices when it comes to placing your hard-earned marketing dollars, and I appreciate you spending them with us.

Traditional print advertising has the power to make a lasting impression; once your brand or message has been printed on the page, it cannot be retracted or redacted. The printed word has the power to promote a person and/or a company as an authority on a specific subject matter; it elevates personally and professionally a company's stature and status in the marketplace.

It has the power to engage the reader without the constant banter of noise and “read me now” urgency that digital feeds shout at us. Print has the power to target a specific audience, and the NNBV specifically targets the C-Suite business owner and entrepreneurs within our region.

A special thank you to Basin Street Properties, who are our profile wrap sponsors this month. They chose the glossy wrap cover around this month's edition to showcase and highlight their new executive committee to NNBV C- Suite readers. Thank you!

Thank you to all of our NNBV advertisers: Charter Communications, Community Foundation of Western Nevada, First Independent Bank, McDonald Carano, Nevada State Bank, Newmont Goldcorp, One Nevada Credit Union, Plumas Bank, Wikoff Design Studio and Snell & Wilmer.

Thank you to those advertising in our upcoming Summit Awards publication: Marcus & Millichap, One Nevada Credit Union, Panattoni Development, Briggs Electric, CBRE, First Centennial Title Company of Nevada, Helix Electric and The Johnson Group.

Thank you to our 2019 Sierra Nevada Powerful Women event sponsors and magazine advertisers: City National Bank, Plumas Bank, Barnard Vogler & Co., Clark & Associates, McDonald Carano, Renown Health, Dolan Auto Group, Heritage Bank, Paradiso Communities, Meadows Bank, Nevada Industry Excellence, Platinum Wealth Management, Bobby Page, College Nannies, Custom Ink, Evoke Fitness, Sage Financial Advisors, Skin by Kym, Opal Medical Spa and Volunteers of America.

Also, please join us at the Atlantis for our monthly Breakfast & Business panel discussion from 7-9 a.m. Thursday, June 6, on the topic of “Law in Northern Nevada.” The NNBV will host an expert panel of attorneys and legal professionals discussing topics such as startups, recreational cannabis impacting how we manage employees, and how banks manage that cash business.

These are just a few of the topics that will be discussed, and as always, audience participation is welcome. Go to www.nnbw.com/b&b to RSVP. I look forward to seeing you there.

Respectfully yours,

Dawn Gowery
