\u201cAs ALAN enters a new year, I\u2019m delighted to hand off the baton of leadership into Robert\u2019s very capable hands,\u201d said Richards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is extremely humbling to step into Mark\u2019s current role,\u201d said Martichenko.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth he and ALAN Executive Director Kathy Fulton are visionary leaders whose passion and work ethic have earned ALAN an upstanding reputation throughout the supply chain industry. I look forward to working side by side with them as ALAN continues to show how meaningful logistics is to the disaster relief community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, Mark has guided us so capably through everything from hurricanes and tornadoes to global pandemics, all with incredible calmness, intelligence and humanity,\u201d said Fulton. \u201cHowever we\u2019re delighted to know that we have such a capable successor in Robert. We\u2019re looking forward to the amazing talent and new energy and ideas he\u2019ll bring to this role.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
