We kicked things off with a warm welcome from the partners, a heartwarming nod to Jack and the founding partners' legacy, and shining reminder of this year's theme: "Remembering who we are. Becoming who we want to be." After a giant group photo, the celebration hit full swing with photo booth fun, delicious food, drinks, and dancing! It's truly been an unforgettable year, and the best is yet to come! Stay tuned for what's next! #AO50 #BetterTogether
