As many may already know, our Todd Kimball passed later last month and, I believe, now well and unencumbered.?As a founding advisory board member in 2011 for BESThq, we’ve been honored and blessed with his infectious laugh, incredible wit and beautiful spirit for years.?Additionally, he has served as the MC for our annual expo for over a decade bringing boundless energy, enthusiasm, and life to all. Please view his obituary? (https://lnkd.in/gEBf-EY3) and consider joining me and friends this Saturday, March 8, 2025 at 3 p.m. at the CounterCulture Church (1220 SW Taylor St, Portland, OR 97205). Additionally, BESThq shall recognize Todd by dedicating Business Expo West on 4.10.25 to him (www.BizExpoWest.com).?We’ll have moment for him at the welcome at 4pm and invite all to gather at the after party after 7pm at Old Chicago and lift a glass to Todd.?We’ll do our best to lift spirit, as he did, and roll on. Shalom, Ron White BESThq, co-founder
