Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes

Dawn BuzynskiHappy Day Before the Election! Brr… regardless which side of the political aisle you inhabit, I’m willing to bet Hell is freezing over…

Onto warmer and more pleasant thoughts. This week it is my distinct pleasure to introduce you to Dawn Buzynski, director of public relations for Strategic America.
