Happy New Year everyone!

To kick off the new decade, we want to make sure that your entire team is setup for success with your Trail Blazer account.  One way to ensure this is to verify that all of your new hires, volunteers, etc., have been setup with their own unique login account, and that they've attended our free introduction training class (offered twice a week).
