From the Editor
It is the space between a full spring and the start of summer, where everything begins to come full circle. School years wrap up, milestones are celebrated, and the pace of life picks up in the best way. It is a season that reminds us how much can happen in a short amount of time.
In this issue of Social Nortshore Magazine, we are proud to highlight Casey Forshag as our Community Leader, recognizing the impact of thoughtful leadership and a continued commitment to growth across the Northshore. We also celebrate Emily Leonhard as this month’s Supermom, a reflection of the balance, strength, and presence so many women carry daily. And in true Social Northshore fashion, we shine a light on the NABOR 2025 Awards recipients, honoring excellence across our local real estate community.
And while Mother’s Day may have already passed by the time this issue reaches you, it would be incomplete not to acknowledge the mothers who shape so much of our community. The way they lead, support, and show up in both quiet and defining moments is something worth recognizing, not just one day a year, but always.
There is a quiet strength woven throughout these pages. It shows up in leadership, in motherhood, and in the way our community continues to support and celebrate one another.
As always, thank you for being part of Social Northshore. Whether you are marking a milestone or simply enjoying the rhythm of the season, we are glad you are here.
