Success Story

“Our Chapter Alumni Board has been contracting with Bill and GLS for over 18 years. Bill has been a reliable and effective partner and adviser. He served as an important constant through transitions of volunteer leadership as well as the lows and highs of various financial challenges. Our fraternity has a much stronger financial position and long-term outlook these days, and Bill deserves as much credit as our dedicated volunteers. His extensive experience in Greek management – including food and facility services – has played a critical role in our Chapter’s success.”
