From the Pre Interview

Lisa Krouse:

The EDC's role is one that is taking on the challenge of the demands of the "new normal" that we are all experiencing. The Business challenges are forcing the EDC to step outside of the normal boundaries of its "typical" work and stretch itself in many ways to respond to the demands that business now faces.

Erin Silk:
