And I am delighted to tell you that we won the award.

Kim Kilpatrick and Ellen Goodman (founders of GTT) accepted the award.

I want to thank everyone who makes GTT great, who makes it a great pleasure for me to work on GTT every day!  I am so happy doing what I do and expanding GTT and learning from everyone.

Thanks to our partners all of you for making GTT what it is.
