For the next 22 years her steady hand guided Mainebiz as it grew, expanded its statewide presence and garnered a slew of national editorial and design awards along the way. Donna’s planned retirement finally arrived as she marked her last day with Mainebiz on March 31.

My name has been on the masthead of the publication since 1999, and over the years I’ve been to countless Mainebiz events around the state where I’ve felt the impact we have on the community, and the responsibility that goes with it.
