Four new members join the team
Buffalo, NY – March 3rd
Last month we thanked Joel French and Tim Fancher for their contributions to our Board in the last couple of years and wished them well. We worked quickly to replace them and added an additional two new members, identifying certain backgrounds and expertise we felt added value. We’re delighted to have brought onboard four wonderful individuals and look forward to working with them. We are currently undergoing a strategic planning and board development process so these new members come in at a great time.
