- News You Can Use
- Cool Events
- Opportunities Await


Over the past three years with Mazur & Co., I’ve learned just how powerful connections can be, both in the work we do and in the people we collaborate with. Strong relationships spark new ideas, deepen impact, and open doors to new opportunities. One of the most rewarding connections I’ve built over my career is with Stacie Temple, and I’m excited to share that she is joining the Mazur & Co. team as a strategic partner. Stacie’s expertise and commonsense approach will help us, and our clients, make an impact together.
At Mazur & Co., we believe good work starts with good relationships. Trust, respect, and shared purpose go a long way — and when you add clear communication and a little persistence, that’s when ideas really start to move. With Stacie on board, I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together for the people, organizations, and communities we serve. Call us if you need anything.
