HPS is very fortunate to have some highly skilled and extremely valued Advisory Council members who are always there for us, helping and advising in their respective fields of knowledge. Without a solid advisory base HPS would not have progressed to where we are today, and would certainly not be able to develop to where we plan to be in the future! Thank you, all.
