Continued to serve the members of VetNet-IL.Worked with Southern Company Leadership to get the Wall of Honor. approved and constructed at the Naperville, IL office. This helped solidify the commitment made by Southern Company and Nicor Gas to its veteran community. This was the culmination of the journey from starting VetNet with Pam Reid after exchanging a couple texts about wishing we had the ability to participate with the original GA Vetnet and ending my term with this legacy of getting this wall for our members. Pam had a passion for this wall and was extremely helpful in passing along the initial work she had done on it, including finding a local supplier. Without her this would have not been possible.
