Modative will not be operating at full strength from December 24, 2008 - January 4th, 2009. You may contact us at this time, but responses will be delayed. E-mail is preferred as many of us will not be checking voicemail over the holidays.

Normal office hours will resume on January 5th, 2008.

Happy Holidays.

This holiday season, we at Modative would like to give thanks to the consultants we have worked with throughout the year. Without this talented group our architecture would not be possible.
