An exciting and successful new business in Appleton is United Translators, a firm started five years by Adalia Jansen, a native of Peru. United Translators, Inc. now employs 10 full-time and 50 part-time employees, and offers interpretation services in 50 languages. She was in the right place at the right time with this concept. I've had a couple of Hmong friends work with United Translators. Excellent company, filling a serious need in the market. Read more about this story in Margaret LeBrun's insightful article, "Language Link" in a recent issue of Marketplace Magazine.

By the way, I recently had a chance to meet Margaret and learn more about Marketplace Magazine. Very impressive. The latest issue just coming out actually features my boss, Cheryl Perkins, on the cover, and reports on her exciting company, Innovationedge. I'm biased, but one URL says it all: see best.firm.ever.com!
