Thank you !

Sometimes these two simple words can have a significant impact on our lives.

In fact, gratitude can increase innovation, quality, productivity, employee engagement and retention, customer satisfaction, and profitability according to professor Kim S. Cameron from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and Center for Positive Organizations, a contributor to the Practicing Gratitude Teach-Out.

So a BIG thank you to all of our Community Members and Sponsors who have embraced and engaged with us since 2012, when it all began with an idea! Each and every one of you is amazing and we are grateful for being connected.
