From Celebration to Preparation – Business Personal Property Deadlines
By Katy True, Operations Manager at Swartz and Associates
Our team at Swartz + Associates is driven by genuine connection, so gathering to celebrate is something we look forward to every year. This January, we came together for our annual holiday party to reflect on the highlights of 2025 and set our sights on the year ahead.
We chose a hometown favorite once again – J. Rieger’s Monogram Lounge. The space struck the perfect balance: cozy enough to feel intimate, yet open enough for everyone to mingle, reconnect, and enjoy local food and drinks.
