Hansen, Chairman, President & CEO. “Additionally, we have expanded charitable engagement with our community through the Summit Foundation, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and have broadened our social programs to enhance connectivity among our employees, partners, and stakeholders to ensure that we champion an environment of diversity and inclusivity.
