It took us six years, but we made it out of the inner local section and on to the front page of our local paper. The online version omits a photo of the two members the story leads with so it seems a bit disjointed at the start.

Despite us downplaying the telework aspect, as that’s only a small percentage of our members, that was the story she wanted to tell before she ever came in to see us. But that’s the only major flaw this time around, so… progress!

This is awesome. So funny as we’re finding remote workers to be our best members. They are more profitable, less hassle, and if we had 6 more desks, we could fill them tomorrow.

Plus for rural areas in Oregon, keeping high wage workers in the community has a huge economic impact.

In community,

Brad

Congrats thats awesome!

I’d love to read the article but sadly the Frederick Post probably doesn’t get many EU visitors 😂

This article rules, Glen. One of the best space profiles I’ve seen in a while. Congrats!

Thanks Alex. Two things really helped this time: sticking to the story we want told instead of just answering the questions we were asked, and having the reporter spend the rest of the day working around our members.
