Happy Birthday, BrightRock!
By Gus Silber
Life is a journey, and every birthday is a milestone on the road to the ultimate destination: the future. A land of boundless possibility, opportunity, and change.
What will tomorrow bring? More importantly, what will we bring to tomorrow?
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the launch of BrightRock and its Needs-Matched policy that changes as your life changes.
As part of our celebrations, in this issue of The Comet, we bring you reflections on those first 15 years from two of BrightRock’s co-founders, CEO Suzanne Stevens and Executive Director Sean Hanlon.
Our theme for this issue is "New Frontiers," and with that in mind, we also look at how age, rather than space, has become the final frontier for humanity.
We explore a bright new way of crossing the language barrier, face-to-face, and we share a tale of a challenging mountain bike race that opened the path for a major change in life.
Enjoy this issue, and in the words of Mr. Spock, wherever the journey may take you, “live long and prosper!”
