Hello Douglas, As we approach the end of the year, I want to extend my sincere thanks for your continued interest, trust, and engagement with our firm. Whether we connected around the sale of a school, a potential acquisition, or simply through this newsletter, it has been a privilege to stay in touch and support your work in education. This past year has reminded me how resilient and dedicated school owners, investors, and education leaders are. I am grateful for the conversations, mandates, and relationships we have built together, and I look forward to working with you in the year ahead as new opportunities arise. I wish you and your loved ones a restful holiday season filled with peace, health, and quality time together. May 2026 bring you continued success, clarity in your plans, and progress toward your long-term goals. Warm Holiday Wishes and a Happy New Year, |
