Retirement
2024 was a year of change for me. I semi-retired.
​
Read on for what I will be doing and how I might still be able to help you.

The coast of Maine. Part of the retirement plan!
A New Chapter
​It was August 2001 when Strategic Management Solutions came to be. For 23 years it was scary, thrilling, challenging, rewarding, and a bunch of other descriptive terms. For those 23 years I offered a variety of human resource services that supported my clients in their quest for success. In return, I was rewarded with success in building the business.
​
2024 was a time to close one door and open another called retirement. My 94-year-old Mom needs care, and I want to spend time with her while I can. I am also pursuing my personal interests, including travel, without work getting in the way! In 2024, I visited some wonderful places including Nantucket, Lake Tahoe, Raleigh NC, Niagara Falls, and my favorite place Maine.
I still maintain the business entity and have, on a few occasions, come out of retirement temporarily. Eventually I will close the business altogether.
​​
If you are considering retiring, I highly suggest it!
