        In 2021, we continued to execute on our strategic initiatives to enhance our footprint and responsibly expand our
        business. Specifically, we made significant progress advancing goals included in our latest five-year strategic plan,
        SOAR (Strategic Operating Analysis and Review) 2025, which was developed in 2020. The SOAR process,
        supplemented by our annual planning process, has guided us since 2010 as we have grown the business in an intentional,
        contemplative, and disciplined manner. SOAR 2025 set ambitious yet achievable targets for future growth and value
        creation, and the four acquisitions completed in 2021 were all well aligned with our SOAR 2025 goals. Importantly, the
        company’s strategic efforts in 2021 provide a platform for continued expansion in future years.
