QUOTES

• “I think it's been very beneficial for all of us to have that opportunity to have a place where we can just all bounce ideas off each other, see how somebody is doing things a little bit differently because most of us are running into the same challenges. Very few of us are running into something that's actually unique.” - Dan Thompson
• “There's always more we can do and we're constantly evolving and constantly improving and identifying issues where we fall short or issues where we could be doing better and doing everything that we can to rectify those.” - Dan Thompson
