Notable Quotes (3)
One quick question. Um 7.1 the organizational chart is that the same as it's always been or is there any changes to that? This is my first time looking at the organizational chart.
Sure. It is it is primarily unchanged. Excuse me. The only difference is back in uh I forget which month it was, April or May when the board um approved Mrs. Tomlinson to move into that position um that switch was made and that is referenced in this chart. Thank you.
It is. A busy one.
