Moira, THANK YOU! This did help. Thanks for all that goes into planning an event like this. Looking forward to it!

Looking forward to my first 90 Minds and meeting and talking with all the great people I have worked with over the years when I was with Sage. Loving my new SWK life :)

@CarmenCruz so happy to see a post from you. :)
