“We are deeply grateful to Chuck for his time and support, particularly his tireless dedication to leading the recipient review committee and his many years of sponsorship at our annual charity golf tournament,” said Jon Owens, president of AACF. “His legacy of commitment and service will continue to inspire.”
Succeeding McCourt as chair of the recipient review committee is David Young, vice president and general manager, North America DIFM of Valvoline Global Operations. Additionally, board trustee Marc Blackman, CEO of Gold Eagle Co. will be joining the executive committee.
