The MLS Engineering team experienced an unforgettable getaway to Couples Swept Away -- Negril, Jamaica in celebration of meeting our goals !🌴☀️Nothing like swapping Indiana snow for sandy beaches, sunshine , and all the tropical food we could get our hands on. We laughed, relaxed, adventured and made some amazing memories with our teammates. We missed team members that weren’t there with us and appreciate their ongoing contributions. Feeling thankful,sun-soaked & recharged, bring on 2026!
