When Jackson Business Monthly was conceived by Bob Michaels, He wrote in his Viewpoint that He hoped “this magazine can, in some small way, positively influence the perceptions of business in Jackson.” To do this, he enlisted some help from representatives from agencies serving Jackson businesses.
These were well-respected experts in our area with differing backgrounds. They had insight on what was going on in the business world and were asked to help find the stories on some of the most pressing issues facing the greater Jackson community, as the area regeared for the 90’s and beyond.
