It is our pleasure to announce that Bailey DeMier will be joining the Teders & Quackenbush Wealth Management team as a Summer Intern. Bailey just completed her junior year at Murray State University where she is majoring in financial planning. She has earned a 4.0 GPA while being a key player on the Racers’ women’s volleyball team and being honored as a Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete.

Her success in the classroom and on the court is driven by her preparation and discipline. She focuses on what’s in front of her but is ever-curious and interested in exploring new ideas and perspectives.

Her competitive instincts complement her collaborative nature – interacting with fellow classmates and teammates, teachers and coaches - to help one another pursue their passions and become better versions of themselves.
​
We look forward to Bailey digging, assisting, and acing her projects with us. We will do everything we can to show her the honor and privilege we have of serving a select group of clients. Helping them build, manage, and protect their wealth, and being there for them through life’s transitions, planned and unplanned.

​In the fast-paced world of IT management, it’s common for IT managers to find themselves reacting to emergencies one after another, often leading to chaos and downtime. This whitepaper explores proactive practices that shift the focus from fixing problems to preventing them in the first place within four strategic buckets: (1) account management; (2) hardware/software maintenance; (3) lifecycle planning; and (4) security preparedness.

We’ve seen the shift to proactive IT management create multiple advantages and opportunities, including:
• Increased uptime and improved operations;
• More time for IT managers to focus on projects that meet company strategic goals; and
​• Improved, more concise and stable IT budget planning, saving companies the unknown and lasting costs of downtime.

The Trades District, a collaboration with The Mill and the City of Bloomington, is thrilled to announce the signing of a lease to establish a Bloomington office for Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), the provider of high-performance networking and innovative services to the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) scientific research ecosystem. ESnet's decision to build a presence in the Trades District marks a significant milestone in the district's evolution into a thriving center for technology and innovation.

ESnet is funded by the DOE Office of Science and stewarded by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, CA, where ESnet’s central office is located. Its hybrid workforce is spread across all six U.S. time zones. ESnet is a nationwide network connecting the DOE’s 17 national laboratories and 28 user facilities, including multiple large-scale scientific instruments. Its experts work on advanced and emerging IP, high-speed optical networking, network automation, cybersecurity, data measurement, and analysis, and more on behalf of ESnet’s vision: to free scientific progress from the constraints of the physical location of instruments, people, computational resources, or data. ​
