Thank you for your thoughtful, detailed review, and for your contributions to our company's success over the past several years. I'm so glad I was able to remember your wife's name and your daughter's name, and I also wish I could say that this was true with every team member and their loved ones. I've fallen a little behind (as evidenced by a Q&A session today in Minneapolis with our APR teammates--I couldn't remember several team members' names, unfortunately) , but we as a leadership team remain focused on the goal of knowing every team member's name, as a signal that we care about, respect and appreciate every team member.
I also really appreciated and agreed with your observations about our companywide goals and our bonus plan. I'm hopeful that our updated structure & framework in 2018 and beyond will help us improve in some meaningful ways. I hope that a year from now we will look back on our performance against a somewhat more conservative 2018 operating plan and see that we met or exceeded the operating plan targets for each quarter. That will not be easy, but it is more possible in 2018 because our plan is a little more conservative, particularly relative to our growth forecast.
I also appreciated your observations about diversity in the workplace. Linda Llewelyn, Leslie Falk, Lauren Udwari and I just co-authored an article on this topic as part of our continued focus on enabling Health Catlayst to be a best place to work for every current and prospective team member, including team members with incredibly diverse attributes, characteristics, backgrounds and experiences.

We'll keep working every day to improve. Thanks for your contributions to that improvement--glad to be on the journey with you!
