New Managing Director Cameron Harvey takes the reigns
"In my first 90 days as Managing Director I have encountered a truly remarkable team. From marketing, admissions, operations, sales, and of course the teaching staff, I have never met a more dedicated and talented group in my 20+ years in the industry. Its inspiring to see so many people in this organization supporting and pushing each other to provide service excellence for our agents and unforgettable teaching experiences for our students.
I look forward to working more closely with this great team and our partners around the world as Stafford House embarks on an exciting new chapter with our colleagues in CATS and CSVPA.
My very best to you and your families for the holiday season and 2020!"
