Reflecting on this weeks activities brings a joyous

smile to my face. This week witnessed successful

teamwork as co-workers came together to

accomplish multiple tasks. It also saw team

members step up and take on leadership roles,

making good decisions. As the leader of this

team, nothing could make me prouder that seeing

the ISA team members take ownership. #proud
