Thank you Jon
Nan McIntyre (not verified) Says:When Holly first approached ShoreBank Enterprise Cleveland to be fiscal agent for start-up E4S, I must admit I was concerned that money that came through us to E4S could impact the support the Foundation was giving to our organization. However, Jon was quick to reassure us that not only did he view this funding separate from our organizational support, but he expressed gratitude to SEC for being willing to serve as their fiscal agent. It is because of Jon that, today, I am able to proudly say that SEC "incubated" E4S for a number of years until it was able to spin off on its own. Thank you Jon for your vision, wisdon, enthusiasm, and belief in E4S; that kind of support is priceless!
