As we begin 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on the people who make our organization what it is. This January brings significant transitions as we bid farewell to valued colleagues entering retirement and celebrate team members stepping into expanded roles. These changes remind us that our greatest strength has always been our people and their dedication to serving our clients with integrity and excellence.
