APBA V&H Chairman Announces New Leadership

V&H Chairman Jeff "Nemo" Buckley has announced the names and positions of the newly approved APBA V&H Leadership with the following message:

"Our Jefe, Chris Fairchild, challenged me to put together the dream team for V&H. I'm confident I've done that. The board shares these mutual goals: Communication, Safety, Growth and Longevity. Yeah, it’s a mouthful I know, and you certainly won't have to say it 10 times in rapid succession. Clearly though, these are our current challenges.

We've been given a clean sheet of paper to craft our future. There's never really been anything wrong with the way business was conducted over our history, we've merely been challenged to do it better. We're only the caretakers, and our charge is to make it (fundamentally) more enjoyable, safer, more sustainable, and to preserve it! There's no question in my mind we can and will achieve just that. Congratulations to the following all-stars!"
