It represents that the cooperative spirit is certainly alive here within our network of partners, and I commend each of my peers for stepping forward to volunteer their service to both Xtend and our industry. On behalf of our customer-owners, I would like to congratulate Glenn, Mark and Kim on their re-election as well as thank them for their past service to our CUSO.”
