Hi everyone,
We'd like to acknowledge the Spanish National Day celebrated on October 12th. This day marks the anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas. As Spain's National Day, it holds significant pride and importance to our Spanish colleagues. The day is synonymous with the recognition of Spain's multicultural heritage and its impact on global history. Factually, while the day celebrates Columbus’ arrival, it also marks the beginning of Hispanic influences worldwide.
Respecting and understanding diverse cultures enables us to build stronger connections in our global community. In honor of this day, our colleagues in Spain will be taking time off. Kindly adjust your collaboration plans accordingly.
Thank you,
