Posted on by Kurt Jensen

I'm Kurt Jensen, and I was recently added to the ACVP team as the Communications Director. I'm here to improve internal communications between members and provide you with more and more valuable information than ever before.

Our first step was to improve the design and usability of the ACVP website. I implemented this design, and I want to help you use it to its full potential.
