At Limble, our mission is to empower the humans who keep the world's assets running. The winners we're about to recognize are shining examples of exactly that. Let's meet this year's Maintenance Hero Award winners.

Starting off with our reporting revolutionary category. This award recognizes teams who use Limble to gain visibility across their organization and make data driven decisions, like when to replace equipment or when to add staff. This year's reporting revolutionary is Sala Adine of Montfort Hospital. Congratulations.

The next award is tech innovator. These winners help shape the future of Limble itself, joining beta programs, testing new features, and working with our product team to make the platform better for everyone. Please congratulate Christy Stein of Commonwealth University and Lucinda Mills of Twin City Foods.

We're on to our next category, proactive pioneer. This award is for those who stopped reacting and started preventing by launching or optimizing preventative maintenance program or using sensors to automate PM scheduling. Our proactive pioneers are Parker Lee of OI Glass and Joshua Burkholder of Carter Lumber.

Up next is our productivity powerhouse category. These winners prioritize and assign work with precision, raise on time completion rates, and lift the productivity of their entire team. Congratulations to Scott Tipton of Emerson and Alan Shields of Art Cobell.

Next up is our NextGen Ninja. This award honors up and coming maintenance professionals who are already making an impact through curiosity, innovation, and a drive to learn. Our next gen ninjas are Matt Smith of Morris Packaging and Connor Bell of OI Glass.

Up next, downtime disruptor. These two took on unplanned downtime, improving equipment performance, cutting repair times, and stretching the time between failures. Congratulations to Ryan Walton of Infra Metals and Ryan Arduini of eBeam Services.

Next up, we're looking at our customer experience enthusiasts. Great maintenance shapes the experience of everyone who walks through the door. These winners streamlined work requests and kept their facilities running smoothly. Congratulations to Christine Loslow of Ryno facilities and Walter Hernandez of Chatham Steel.

Up next, spare parts superstar. The right part at the right time, these winners organize their parts, keep critical spares in stock, and forecast usage so nothing stands in the way of getting the job done. Our spare parts superstars are Gary Cunningham of Prefer Ranch and Rodeo Equipment, and Pablo Torres of La Canto.

And our last award, the unsung hero award. This award is a special one. It goes out to people who overcame personal or professional obstacles and made daily life better for themselves and their entire teams. Please join me in honoring Morgan McClumb of Sony and Michael James of c h Gunther.

To all of our winners, thank you for the work you do and for the example you set. Let's celebrate all of our winners one more time. Drop your congratulations in the chat or send them a message in the community.

Now I'll throw it back to Gary Spector, our CEO, for some final thoughts.
