We wanted to take this time to thank everyone for the kindness they've shown us over the last couple weeks and extend an opportunity to pay tribute to our fearless leader, Angel. We know how many lives she touched, and we’d like to pay tribute to her by sharing memories. If you have any memories that stand out, any photos, or want to offer a few sentences in her memory, we would love to hear it. Feel free to send it our way at [email protected] [2] or put your tribute in the comments of this post, and we’ll compile them and upload them to the intranet.

More updates from your MAC team -

Over the next few months, if you can also just be thinking of anyone else who would be interested in an opportunity like this, let us know!
