We were honored to host this year’s Christmas gathering at SmaBio Labs ! An evening that went far beyond a holiday celebration.The event featured an insightful and thought-provoking session by Sharon Nixon Crenshaw, who shared powerful perspectives on emergency recovery, disaster response, and building high-performance supply chain strategies.What made the evening especially meaningful was the people we gathered with. Many of our guests are veterans — leaders who have served with resilience, discipline, and an unwavering sense of purpose. It was a privilege to welcome them into our space and take a moment to reconnect, reflect, and recognize the impact they continue to make within our communities.A heartfelt thank you to Marianeth C. and Bob Burton for organizing such a meaningful gathering and bringing this community together. We were grateful for the opportunity to host and support an evening rooted in connection, service, and gratitude.
