The team did incredible at the presentation this morning at 9. The presentation was on, the question and answer went great and the visual was perfect. We are about to go and eat with the executives and other teams. Right now, we’re at a career fair.

We ran into a number of Flagler alumni including Amy Waers, who works at Sam’s Club.
