She has an excellent working knowledge of our operations and has established herself as a leader among our team. We expect the upcoming transition to be seamless, as her breadth and depth of experience will enhance our performance initiatives and ensure a continued focus on improving financial performance, generating cash and further strengthening our balance sheet as we move forward.”

Dave has been a dependable and consistent contributor over the years and deserves a lot of credit for the Company’s success.”
