Charting the Future with the Board

My season has come to an end as Board Chairman with Grace After Fire. Over the last six years, I have had the pleasure of serving and witnessing this organization grow programming, strengthen as a Team, expand beyond the state of Texas and impact the community in so many ways. I am proud of the work we have done and the lives we have impacted. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity to serve. It is now time for me to pass the battalion to Amy Wolf, who will be leading the Directors, as the new Board Chair beginning June 1.

It has been a phenomenal ride.

Thank you for your support and for your commitment to serving Women Veterans.
