Midland Tomorrow Consultant

Dear Ryan,
Happy New Year!
Midland Tomorrow enters the New
Year with a new Executive Director, and you don't have to
scroll down very far to see who it is! This month we also
celebrate winners (of technology grants and leadership awards)
and potential winners (of 50 Companies to Watch recognition).
2006 is already shaping up to be a superior year.
This month, you have already received several supplemental
emails from us in addition to this monthly newsletter; they
covered breaking information about Midland's new minor league
baseball stadium and team. We are considering modifying our
communications from the current format (sending out one large
newsletter per month) to this more sporadic, "as it happens"
news style. What do you think? Contact us and
let us know your thoughts. As always, all our emailed news
communications will be archived on the news
page of our website.
