Is it even "Team Day" if we didn't start out clapping for each other and end up throwing things at each other? We love getting the whole crew together a couple times a year at HQ to enjoy each other's company over games, grub, and slightly unhinged activities. This one was all about leveling "up"...our agenda included build-ups (awards & shout-outs), company trivia with Heads Up!, an amazing race that started with Keepy Uppy (and involved a series of missions loosely based on our core values), a heated dodgeball tournament, and for the main event, we got all hyped up with a stirring speech from Coach Bill Busch (our kinda guy). Then "bottoms up" at the end of the day with happy hour at Hwy 14 Brewing Co. Major shouts to this outstanding team for all the hard work already this year— for all the goals crushed, for never taking shortcuts (unless they're on a keyboard), and for continually raising the bar.

Major thanks to a real *dude*, Coach Bill Busch, for the stirring speech he gave at our internal Team Day last Friday! Our theme was all about leveling up in accountability, efficiency, and positivity...and his experiences, stories, insights, and fiery delivery brought down the house. We heard he was a dynamic speaker, and he delivered in spades.

Little love for our Lincoln office in the NDN! Thanks for the feature, Norfolk Daily News!

A small crew from Applied Connective attended the Team Jack Foundation's annual gala a couple weeks ago as we do every year. The evening was extremely moving & impactful, and a surprise to us all, Ed was announced as "The Team Jack Teammate of the Year." Needless to say, ACT was glowing over this recognition. Ed was extremely honored and would like to acknowledge this award by passing the light back onto Team Jack and using the opportunity to amplify their mission to "fund the cure." Horrifyingly, children diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer today will receive the exact same treatment that was given 30 years ago. The first-line chemotherapy treatments haven't improved or changed, and what's more, they are devastatingly destructive to the body (95% of children who survive cancer will go on to have a significant health condition in adulthood as a direct result of toxicities from their treatment). Only 4% of the National Cancer Institute's budget goes to pediatric brain cancer research, so Team Jack is a tremendous source of hope in moving the needle. Team Jack is committed to rewriting the future for these children. Please consider a donation to Team Jack, however big or small. As Ed has said, "Every dollar, every little bit counts. It all helps get us closer to brighter futures for these children and their families." Thank you for the wonderful work you do, Team Jack. We'll always be fighting beside you!

Although many of us are within sledding distance of the office, several of us have our statuses set to “WFH” today due to the weather. No matter! Because still, 56/56 could be accounted for at this morning’s all-staff meeting thanks to the secure & reliable technology solutions we have in place, which allow us to continue to communicate, collaborate, remediate, and dominate without skipping a beat!

Ever called Applied Connective? If so, you've probably had the pleasure of being helped by this gem. (If not...sheesh, call us sometime!) As we continue introducing our employees, let's push Lacey Henn into the spotlight against her will. Lacey is Applied Connective's administrative assistant, and hence, our gatekeeper and captain of the ship (among many other titles), and her cheerfulness, warmth, and administrative skills know no bounds. Her daily to-do list is already long & broad, and she takes it above & beyond. Not only does she do it all with a smile on her face, but she’s constantly offering to do more. The epitome of a team player. You're a day-brightener, Lacey! We're so grateful to have you on the team. #ACTfam

Our "Vegas Vacation" crew turned into the "Christmas Vacation" crew last Friday with a *reeeal nice surprise* for local shoppers. Knowing the most joyful time of year is also often the most expensive, Whaley, Kelsi, Logan, Bryce, and Childress (not pictured) decided to put a little more jingle in shoppers' pockets this Christmas season by donating 14 $50 gift cards to a local grocery store for the manager to apply at random to 14 patrons during checkout. Scott said they racked their brains for meaningful ways they could help and came up with this, "and we get a support a great local business in the process." We love to sprinkle uplifting news on your newsfeeds and wanted to shout these 5 out for their wonderfully generous random act of kindness. *Just a real nice surprise, Clark.*

We hit the jackpot with you, Mason! Very thankful for the apprenticeship program at Northeast Community College for helping us find this rockstar!
