Change of leadership

I work for The Salvation Army. Specifically the Western Territory, USA. Just this past week we have new CEOs. The Army world is full of titles and ranks and unfamiliar traditions, much of it based on a military structure. Way too much to explain here. Suffice to say Salvation Army officers get new appointments every couple of years and typically move to new areas where the Army is serving. Our new "Territorial Leaders" are Commissioners Jim and Carolyn Knaggs. Originally from the east, the Knaggs come to us via Australia where they served several years.

Transitions can be hard. New leadership always comes with some unknowns. But, to tell you the truth, I'm kind of excited. I've heard both the Knaggs speak in formal and informal settings and I'm impressed. They appear full of vision and truly seem to care about people.

Welcome to the west Commissioners. I look forward to working with you.
