“I watched Tiffany grow over the four-and-a-half years she was part of the Long Beach Business Journal team. Being part of something new, innovative and potentially successful is, as I have seen, what drives her. Tiffany’s energy, enthusiasm helped drive me. She has spunk, vitality and a willingness to try new things no matter how challenging. She made me look good. Tiffany has the potential to be a real leader. I have no doubt in my mind she will excel.” – George Economides, Publisher/Editor of the Long Beach Business Journal

“I had the pleasure of working with Tiffany on an number of creative media packages for the Long Beach Business Journal. I worked with several writers over the six years I was with the Business Journal, but Tiffany’s professionalism and initiative stood out among them. She has a talent for staying focused and collected under pressure. Her positive attitude against the strictness of deadlines was unprecedented at that publication. It was no surprise to me that Tiffany became Editor after only four years.” – Aaron Dees, Applications Engineer at Oracle

“Tiffany is the consummate professional and an excellent journalist. She is a real asset to the Long Beach Business Journal, which is the leading business business resource in our city of over 500,000. She is bright, pleasant and respectful of co-workers and business associates. I have been interviewed by Tiffany numerous times over the last few years and she always does an excellent job capturing the critical elements of the business issues and she always quickly grasps the technical tax issues and other nuances.” – Blake E. Christian, Partner at Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt

“As a student of mine, Tiffany showed dedication and commitment to all assignments in which she was involved, with an ease for quick learning and multitasking. She was also involved with several great assignments for the student newspaper, including many multimedia projects, and any company would be very lucky to have her on its staff.” – Danny Paskin, Associate Professor at California State University, Long Beach

“Tiffany is truly a gift to your publication and to the city.” – Peacebuilders founder/CEO and Millworks developer Michelle Molina to LBBJ Publisher

“Please ask your reporter, Tiffany Rider, to quit beating us on stories. She ran rings around us on the PBID (property and business improvement district) issue and now she’s ahead of us on the tunnel story. She’s also accurate which makes this all the more annoying. Kudos to you.” – Bill Pearl of LBReport.com letter to LBBJ Publisher

“I just received a copy of the Long Beach Business Journal and wanted to congratulate you on a truly great story about ‘Philanthropic Organizations Work To Create Sustainable Paths For Addressing Needs.’ The way in which you wove the trends that we discussed during conversation into an entire expose was amazing. Each of the angles that you researched were excellent illustrations of the current trends affecting the nonprofit sector and each provided clear evidence of their impact on services, business models, and community presence. The way you were able to blend interviews with executives from a variety of organizations from healthcare to social enterprise to foundations also gave the Long Beach Business Journal readers a clearer sense that the nonprofit sector is more than one’s own favorite charity.” – Jeffrey R. Wilcox, president/CEO, The Third Sector Company, Inc.
