Dear Friends, I have served on the board of Mutual of America Life Insurance Company since 1981. Since 1996, their Community Partnership Award has recognized a successful partnerships between the government, corporate and social sector, and the outstanding contributions those partnerships make to society. So far, 170 partnerships from cities and towns cross America have been recognized.
These services can only be offered through the partnerships CAF has formed with the Naval and Army Medial Centers and other military and medical centers and veterans’ hospitals throughout the country. It is an honor to feature organizations who value collaboration and in 2013, may we all consider greater opportunities for meaningful partnerships and collaborations. To Serve Is To Live,
