On September 7, 2022, our director and Chairman of the Board, Michael Long, passed away. All of our employees, as well as anyone who had the good fortune to work with Mr. Long, will remember him fondly as a teacher and leader that they loved, respected and admired. He will be greatly missed.

 

Mr. Long served as our Chairman and CEO since our inception in 1998 until August of 2016, when he exited the Chief Executive Officer role and focused his sole attention to leading the board of directors as our Chairman.

 

In a special board meeting on September 12, 2022, the board voted unanimously to name Mr. Long to the posthumous, honorary position of Chairman Emeritus and Louis Hoch as Chairman in addition as to his current roles as President and CEO. The Vice-Chairman position on the Board will remain vacant until a suitable replacement is identified.

 

 

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
