Quick updates coming your way…

Important news: 

We’ve been having technical difficulties with our community Hub resources for questions, cases, learning, engagement, videos, news, etc. If you are a member of our Hub, it is currently down and we are working on transitioning to a FABULOUS NEW PLATFORM that is iOS, Android and browser friendly. We will have more features, cost less to you, and it will be a more direct and easy way to interact with other like-minded colleagues speaking the same language as well as myself and my team. Please stay tuned and join us in the evolution!
