Tiger Buford introduces the architect of the NAS Innovation Summit, who explains the initiative is now a top four goal for the organization. They're launching a five-year strategic plan to make NAS a central innovation hub.

He's also the architect of the upcoming NAS Innovation Summit that we're going to hear about soon.
That innovation was really just something I was pushing for the last couple of years, and the board's really embracing it. So it's, it's, it's part of one of our top 4 goals is to stimulate innovation. I've got a 5-year strategic plan I've already put in place on how to bring innovation forward with NAS. So I view us as kind of a, a spine innovation hub going forward. So I'm very excited about that.
