According to Jeff, the Systems’ mission has been close to his heart for some time. He decided to reach out to the board and staff leadership to see if there was a role for him here. When asked what he hoped to do as an SUI board member, Jeff answered, “To fully utilize my strengths and talents in a way that’s best aligned to the needs of Systems Unlimited.” Jeff is currently on the Resource Development Committee where his skills are most appreciated.
