A special Mid-year seminar marking 10 years of collaboration
Each year at the start of summer, our team gathers for a day of festivities at our Mid-year seminar. Learning, laughter, camaraderie and a celebration of our accomplishments, it’s a day where colleagues can get to know each other better in a relaxed atmosphere, and where our directors can share their vision of what’s coming up in the months to come. This year was particularly special as we celebrated ten years of working together!
