Back to Business N THIS ISSUE, WE’RE INTRODUCING YOU TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE who are leading our community into the future, from the first Latina city
council member to a doctor who is working to fight the opioid crisis to a woman who has become the champion of the honeybee. We’re calling them The Influencers, and we asked people who know them well to write their stories, which you’ll find starting on page 34. Some of the folks we’re featuring have a significant impact in our business sector, a good pairing with the launch of our new Durham Inc. section in the magazine (page 45), which will run in every issue. Focusing on the companies and the people running them, our mission in this section is to cover the economic growth in our community fairly and responsibly. We’ve always been proud to feature leaders in business, but this new section is a chance to give a more in-depth look at ways to grow your business, network, learn about recent openings and closings, and much more. We’re excited to give more coverage to the commercial side of the Bull City, and we’d love to hear your thoughts and business news – drop us a line at business@ durhammag.com.
