    Our Insights

    Here at Orr Group, we stay curious and are always hungry to learn more. Beyond conversations with our teammates and partners, we often turn to books to help us better understand and improve the world we live in. As 2021 comes to a close, our Senior Leadership Team is sharing some of their favorite reads they’ve enjoyed over the past year. We hope these recommendations will inspire you to pick up a book (perhaps one of these!) and expand your mind.
