Most notably, we were privileged to work with Jon Calvin in his role of Vice President of Underwriting and Internal Services until his passing last month. While Jon’s passing has been difficult for our team, the position in which he served is very critical to our organization, and we knew that finding the right candidate to fill that role was important for carrying out our mission and fulfilling our commitment to serving our members.
