Our committed board of directors are in full support of this transition and will continue to advise and oversee what comes next. We feel confident that he will provide the company with the means to reach our strategic goals and enable the organization to reach more people in the disabled and veteran communities, and we are excited that someone of his caliber is leading these initiatives.”
