New look, fresh content

So say the bosses...

It s been years since our last revamp. We need to keep changing things up to get readers to tear open that plastic wrapper!

PIONEER has come a long way since its days as an internal newsletter, and we certainly won't stop trying to make the magazine more exciting and relevant. I hope readers like our new look and size!
