I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and is having a productive fall so far. CONTENTS I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate the staff of Branch Benefits for being featured on the cover of Rough Notes, a leading industry publication. Through hard work and dedication, my team and I were able to position ourselves to be placed on the cover of its July issue, which is a prestigious award to be given.

It may sound cliché at this point since it has become something of a political talking point, but small businesses really do drive the economy and innovation. It’s important to support local small businesses because by supporting those businesses, you not only support your own local community but also the larger economy as a whole. Take a look around, pick out anything that draws your eye, and give us a call to chat about it. We’d love to hear from you. As usual, if there are any topics important to you that you’d like to see addressed in future issues, just drop us a line and we will see what we can do. 20 ARE YOU AN ACCIDENTAL DIMINISHER?
