“I’m so pleased to welcome Ani and Lisanne to our Shadow Board,” shared Dave Judson, JJR Chief Executive Officer. “I am thankful we have passionate and driven folks that want to participate in shaping the direction of our company and give of their ‘extra’ time in this way.”

Thompson and van Engelen were selected by JJR executives after completing an application and providing a supervisor letter of support.
