Fantastic job on team growth and retention! Please note that the economic and population disparities between MN and ID could be, I believe, a key driver in an area's ability to grow/retain teams: 2009: MN GSP $323b vs ID GSP $54b; population: MN 5.4m vs ID 1.59m; population density: MN 67/sq mi vs ID 19/sq mi.
