Chief Executive Officer of THRF Group Paul Flynn said he was delighted Adam accepted the position and will bring further depth to a group of highly esteemed and experienced board members. “We’re thrilled Adam has agreed to join the advisory board given his deep understanding of service life and his keen interest in the health and welfare of veterans everywhere as well as those who continue to serve.
