Even though she's a Gator (ugh), I'm pleased to announce Shannon Herbon as MLMC's newest director of media relations. Shannon's fearless when it comes to working with the media and we've already seen an uptick in placements since she joined us a few weeks ago.

Please join me in welcoming Shannon to the MLMC team. Oh, and War Eagle :)
