Our team joined over 300 other teams running this Ragnar trail course in the middle of the woods in northern Wisconsin. This course consisted of three loops, a 3 mile loop, a six mile loop and a seven mile loop.

I remember just about three years ago sitting in a companywide meeting in a conference room at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Lisbon, Portugal (Museu Coleção Berardo, Lisboa).

This is where activities of different departments are coordinated.
