You can read the interview with Haggerty on page 4 and the one with Tsemberis was printed in our last issue.The questions we asked were developed by several members of the Vendor Leadership Team. Shawn Lesley served as their representative and conducted the in-person interviews with assistance from Judy. After talking to both experts, we felt extremely energized.
