Amembal said, “All those pioneers and their teams that I trained years ago are mostly retired, so in conjunction with Bob Rinaldi, a long-time friend and international colleague of Amembal & Halladay, we are returning to start the process anew. But this time, we have an even greater knowledge base and the benefit of the latest technology to educate future leaders and their teams.”
