Full Statement:

“ I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mr. Permuy in various capacities for nearly a decade. I would describe him as someone of the highest character who puts his energy in service of a range of causes to better communities. He is naturally gifted at forging relationships with diverse groups and dives into sometimes surprising niches in order to reach and connect with people. 

Whether in political spheres, the arts, or heading up positive psychology groups, I have been proud to see Mr. Permuy working successfully in many circles over the years to make a positive, lasting difference for others, spotlight those who feel unseen, and support worthy causes. This has included operating from the local to national level to interact with U.S. Senators, U.S.  Representatives, former Presidents and Cabinet Secretaries, as well as underserved groups in communities from Florida to New Hampshire. 

Pulling these threads together to support legacies is a perfect way to apply this expertise for the benefit of others, and I applaud his continued successes in doing so. ”
