Editor's Letter




Welcome to another exciting issue of VIP Murfreesboro Magazine! This month, we’re celebrating the power of our community across generations. Whether you’re a young professional aiming to make a difference, a parent looking to support your child’s education or simply someone who believes in the power of community, we have something for you in this issue. So, dive in, get inspired and get involved! Remember, the future of our community is shaped by the actions we take today.

First up, we shine a bright light on our incredible “40 Under 40” honorees. These young leaders, all under the age of 40, are leaving their mark on our community in countless ways. From entrepreneurs shaking up the business landscape to educators inspiring the next generation, their stories are a testament to the vibrancy and potential of our local scene. Get ready to be inspired by their passion, dedication and innovative ideas!

But, the future isn’t just about those who’ve already achieved great things. It’s also about nurturing the next generation and fostering a love of learning. That’s why we’re dedicating a special section to Kids & Education. We’ll explore innovative schools and programs designed to spark young minds, and offer guidance for parents in search of the best fit for their child.

As always, the pages are also filled with events illustrating the amazing commitment you have to our community. We’ll be highlighting fundraisers, festivals, celebrations, charity galas and everything in between. But, to make it truly exceptional, we need your help! Please be sure to continue to submit events on our webpage and contact us with good news that needs to be shared!

Sincerely,

-Carrie Beth Catron
