As this year’s E-rate filing window wraps up, I’m reminded of a simple but powerful truth: we grow the most when we grow together.
One moment that really stands out to me is Megan Keating’s completion of her 9-week onboarding—during the busiest season of the year. While most would have hit pause on bringing someone new aboard, our team leaned in. Megan’s presence reminded us: there’s no perfect time for growth—only the commitment to keep moving forward. It took time and care from our team to bring her up to speed, and it was incredible to watch her already making meaningful contributions. (Congrats again, Megan!)

Celebrating growth in action. Megan Keating completed her onboarding
during our busiest season—and made a big impact from day one.
This season was also the result of intentional planning and shared commitment. Almost a year ago, our team set out to make this year’s filing window our best ever. The result? More funding applications submitted—earlier and with greater quality—for more clients than ever before. That kind of progress doesn’t just happen. It’s the outcome of consistent effort, strategic collaboration, and people like Jake, Jessica, and Heidi (pictured below) who show up, dig in, and work together.

In an age of AI tools and automation, it’s easy to forget the simple power of human connection. But every improvement, every milestone, every “win” we celebrate—it’s all rooted in the strength of our team.
- To our team: thank you for your professionalism, persistence, and positivity.
- To our clients: thank you for trusting us to walk this path with you.
- To our partners: your collaboration lifts us higher.
I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished—and even more proud of how we’ve done it.
Let’s keep growing. Together.
