It’s Go Texan Day! Our professionals spiced things up by rocking some western wear at the office, embracing the vibrant culture and traditions that Texas is known for. While our alliant global headquarters is proudly based in Texas, you don’t usually see cowboy gear around here, making today a special occasion to celebrate our Texan roots. A lot of us made the most of our daily meal allowance at the alliant Blue A Cafe.?Chef really embraced the day, dishing out a delicious chuck wagon feast that transported us straight to the heart of the Lone Star State. The menu featured BBQ brisket sandwiches, perfectly smoked and tender, accompanied by a variety of classic sides. This day serves as a perfect kickoff to the?Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo?ahead, reminding us that hard work and fun go hand in hand. As we look forward to the festivities, we’re excited to continue embracing the values of community, tradition, and a little bit of Texas flair in everything we do! Dhaval Jadav? Matthew Noll?
