Thank you Graham Knaus!

Graham Knaus, who leads the California State Association of Counties, sent a message to the women entrepreneurs of Trinity County.

"Starting a business takes vision, planning, commitment, significant risk, and resources. Doing so in rural areas with far fewer resources and more delicate economies and as women who are often juggling multiple other responsibilities, is simply remarkable."

CSAC represents all 58 counties and the nearly 40 million Californians they serve. He wrote more than this, and the rest is on the site.
