“After visiting Vertus, I saw myself in the young men and I was moved by the Vertus Creed: We are courageous. We are responsible. We are leaders. We are our brothers’ keepers. We are leaders of character. We are Vertus men. I am thrilled to be a part the board to support Vertus in shaping young men to help transform the community of Rochester.”
