Back to School
It is hard to believe it’s already time to gear up for the first day of school. This year looks much different than last year, thanks to the strides being made with the COVID vaccine. However, we are not out of the woods yet. If you have children returning to K-12 or off to college, we urge you to read up on the rules and restrictions that apply. Regulations vary greatly among cities and states. Our children’s safety is a top priority!

“That would be my dad. His story is why I became interested in Vaughan’s focus on family businesses. My grandfather started a small mom-and-pop body shop. When he sold it, he made sure he took care of his employees with things like health insurance and a 401k. That’s why I feel that tie when Vaughan talks about his goals with family businesses. Sometimes I think, ‘What if my grandpa, my dad and my brother would have sat down and had some of those conversations that he has with clients? How would that have looked?’”
