Members Of The Board

As a company seeking Non-Profit status we have set up a Board of Directors dedicated to establishing a rock-solid foundation upon which we plan to grow and mature our Organization in a way that delivers the greatest benefit to the most Veterans as we possibly can. We will be establishing our by-laws and discussing the best methods for delivering therapy, securing funding, and use of that funding to secure the tools and materials we need to teach our students the skills they want to learn. We will have updated Bios posted soon.
