FROM THE
Welcome to Business World Magazine.
In this digital publication, we speak to industry leaders in both the private and public sec-
tors across the US and Canada, and we share with you the stories and the secrets of their
success. We write about how they have gotten where they are, how they have stayed
there, and the positive relationships with their stakeholders they built along the way.
In this edition, we are looking back at some of the companies, cities, and industry associa-
tions that best exemplify that success.
When it comes to healthcare, for instance, almost no one has achieved more in their
field – or done it longer – than Alstar EMS in Western New York. We sat down with their
Executive Director to talk about their many decades of industry leading service to their
community, as well as the education, training, and collaboration with other healthcare or-
ganizations that has made it possible.
Construction, meanwhile, has long been an industry on which our spotlight has shone par-
ticularly bright. In that secotr, Canada’s Power Group of Companies is an example of how
a small family business can become a national powerhouse. In their case, they have be-
come one of the country’s most notable names in wall systems. We talked to their General
Manager about that legacy and the innovation and dedication that went into building into it.
In these pages, we have also looked at education from a number of angles. One of the
most illuminating perspectives we’ve ever received was from the National Association of
Independent Schools (NAIS), a membership association that provides services to more
than 1,800 schools in the United States and abroad. For more than 50 years, they have
fulfilled a role as the leading authority, advocate and repository of research involving edu-
cational trends and best practices for independent schools. They sat down with us to share
some of that knowledge and expertise with our readers.
These examples only scratch the surface, however. Other industries we’ve covered in-
clude franchising, aged care, logistics, retail, and many others. To dive deeper and dis-
cover more, you’ll need to read on.
