The special editions will focus on growth and progress realized during the past year and include forecasts for the new year. If it has been a difficult year due to the economy, feel free to comment on how the business or agency has been impacted and how you are dealing with it.

• The length limit on the report is 600 words. Reports that are more than 600 words will be sent back to the individual making the report for editing.

• Reports should focus on accomplishments and growth realized during 2015, along with how the business or agency adapted to the current economy. If possible, include projections of what is expected during the next year as well.
