The Smallwood team enjoyed some great spring weather to cheer our hometown Atlanta Braves as they took on the Detroit Tigers!

With ballpark favorites, and even better company, it was an excellent opportunity to connect outside the office. We’re grateful for moments like these that strengthen our culture and remind us that great teamwork happens both in and out of the workplace. Go Braves!
