Letter from the CEO

Hi,

It has been a tough year with natural disasters from hurricanes on the East cost to the wild fires on the west coast. Our hearts go out to the affected families. The California wildfire has been particularly close to the community that Netwoven lives and works in. We are deeply saddened by the personal loss that some of our customers, and friends have had. Netwoven and its employees have participated with local organizations to help financially and with voluntary time. We look forward to work jointly to rebuild our communities.
