Kick-Off Party

Every year, around this time, the entire Logical Choice Technologies Family gathers together at the Corporate HQ. To keep our company culture strong and connected, all 235ish of us are flown in from all over the US. This week long event features various training classes, new product demos (like Letters alive), and plenty of social time to get to know each other. The culmination is a Kick-Off Party hosted by our Execs and open to everyone.

Since most of the year my interactions with 80% of the company would only be handled through email and the occasional phone call, it's great to match faces with names. I have to keep reminding myself not to say, "you look different than how I pictured you." That conversation never goes well. This may come as a shock, but, my various profile pictures of an adorable 3 year old with dimples that sink into his molars are not a faithful representation of the writer behind the keyboard. 

All week we will be working on new initiatives and studying products that will give us a tremendous advantage in helping teachers that are interested in having the best Interactive White Boards as a part of their educator tool belt. This means that our Sales, Installation, and Training Teams have a lot of new territory to cover. And, while were are already accustomed to being spread throughout the country, it is still a pretty amazing responsibility and opportunity.
