I look forward to working with Randy during the next year. His knowledge of strategic planning and budgeting combine to give us a great opportunity to sharpen how we execute our mission. We are fortunate to have such a strong board who discusses matters thoroughly and entertains competing opinions before deciding on a course of action.
