True," thank you for joining us today for this meeting. We are always greatly appreciative of your time. We know you are all incredibly busy, and being able to join us and take time out of your day is something we are incredibly appreciative of. For those of you who didn't meet me on the last call, I'm Tracy Gruber, the Executive Director for the Department of Human Services. I joined the department in January, but the last 45 days have been filled with activities up at the legislature, so we haven't had many opportunities to meet. I think that I'm incredibly optimistic, maybe because I got my first vaccine yesterday. Being over 50 has its privileges, and I'm hoping that sometime over the summer we'll be able to meet in person, which I'm very much looking forward to. As is typical for these calls, just to remind you of who's on the call, we have representatives from the Department of Services for People with Disabilities, the Office of Quality and Design, Juvenile Justice Services, Child and Family Services, the Office of Licensing, the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health in the Department of Health within the Medicaid Division. We're really happy that everybody with much more expertise than I have is on this call to make this meeting as beneficial and robust as possible for all of you. Before I go into a very brief update about the legislative session and the impact it had on the Department of Human Services, I'd first like to introduce Craig Walters. Some of you may have met Craig before. Craig is the new director for the Office of Quality and Design, and we're just going to give him a few minutes to introduce himself to all of you. So, Craig, thanks Tracy. Yeah,...
