January 2016

Greetings!

Hi. Remember us? The second half of 2015 was a whirlwind for the team with new clients, new team members and big project deliverables. Plus, we got to see many of our friends at conferences for CUEMA, ICMA, LOCC, MMASC and MMANC. Good times.

Alas, we fell off the wagon with our monthly update; so we are playing catch-up in this edition.
