We go through our busy lives taking care of what is at hand and to take a step back and serve others, is at the core of my values and those of the company I have raised for 17 years. That, and the opportunity to sit with and learn from my esteemed fellow board members, promises to be a worthy journey and legacy I will cherish,” - Jackie Ferrari, CEO of AFN.
