HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM MIRANDA: As we close out this year I wanted to use this space to celebrate another year of being your editor here at Community Impact . This year was my fifth at Community Impact , and I have met and worked alongside amazing people during that time to help tell the stories that are important to your community. I look forward to continuing to provide free, local news stories that everyone should know to your community—it’s a mission I take seriously and with humility. I couldn’t do this work without the team helping to create it every month. Thanks to them for another great year. And thanks to you for reading! Miranda Jaimes, EDITOR

WHAT CAN YOU SUPPORT?
If you love Community Impact, consider supporting us by becoming a CI Patron. Thanks to your giving, here are three big accomplishments our organization achieved this year to continue our mission of providing trusted news and local information that everyone gets.
communityimpact.com
MORE LOCAL TALENT: We created several new editorial positions to focus on our local content niche, including additional reporters for the newspaper and more multi-platform journalists for our daily newsletter and website.
NEW LEADERSHIP: We hired a new Chief Financial Officer, Kelly Outlaw, who joined us from Habitat for Humanity. Her favorite saying is "I add faith and humanity to the spreadsheet." You can trust that every dollar you give, along with our advertiser support, is reinvested with integrity and a people-first approach.
ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS: We launched podcasts in our Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metros with host Olivia Aldridge and created an additional digital offering for our advertisers called CI Storytelling.
