– And that's a wrap ?? Thank you to everyone who made our QDI meetings in Rome, Italy and Germantown, Maryland, a huge success! More than accomplishing planning and other agenda items, it was a delight to mingle and bond with colleagues (and friends ??) whom we usually only work with from a distance. While being a global team has its pros and cons, it's no doubt an advantage – even a privilege – to work with truly talented people from all four corners of the world. ?
