Thank You Janice

After more than 20 years with Swanson Publishing, our longtime editor, Janice, is retiring, and we couldn’t let her go without saying thank you.

Janice has been a steady and talented presence behind the scenes of Northern Connection and Pittsburgh 55+ Magazines. Her eye for detail, commitment to quality, and ability to bring clarity to every page have greatly shaped our publications. She’s helped us share the stories of so many people, businesses, and organizations throughout the region, always with professionalism and care.

More than that, Janice has been a true team player. Thoughtful, reliable, and easy to work with, she made the editorial process feel smooth even when deadlines were tight. Her calm approach has been appreciated more than she knows.

While we’re sad to see her go, we’re also excited for what’s ahead for her. Retirement is a big milestone, and one Janice has more than earned. We wish her all the best in this next chapter and thank her sincerely for her incredible years of service.
