Vice President, Jayson Crouch described the characteristics of a KSI
Champion. He said, “Both of these men are true KSI Champions. A KSI
Champion is a person who fully believes in the mission of KSI and the
ABILITIES of people with disabilities. This person aggressively looks
for opportunities within their organization for contracts and work
opportunities for KSI. They willingly and enthusiastically share their
KSI experiences with others in hopes of creating additional employment
opportunities for people with disabilities. This person’s efforts have
had a significant impact on the lives of others. We are fortunate to
have two KSI Champions this year.”
