A Message from rayna
Happy New Year! 2026 is the year of opportunity. While others see complexity, we see possibilities. Where funding, policy, and purchasing pathways diverge, smart companies find their edge. The question isn't whether opportunity exists—it's knowing where to look. We're here to help you find it. We look forward to #RaiseYourExpertise continuing to share valuable insights, hosting state-specific webinars, and working to empower you throughout the year. Here's to a successful year ahead!
Best,
