AAFV would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Computer Network Services (CNS) and its incredible owners, Mark and Cindy Olesen and their dedicated staff, for their unwavering, above‑and‑beyond support.
Their commitment to cybersecurity and IT excellence has been instrumental in helping AAFV operate safely, efficiently, and with confidence. Mark and Cindy consistently go the extra mile, even donating hours of time often behind the scenes, to ensure our systems are secure and our team is supported, allowing us to stay focused on serving survivors and strengthening our community.
Beyond their technical expertise, Mark and Cindy demonstrate a genuine dedication to our community and its continued growth. Their investment in local organizations and long‑term community well‑being reflects their values and leadership, and we are proud to partner with business owners who care so deeply about where we live and serve.
We are truly grateful for their partnership, professionalism, and heart for this work. CNS is more than a contractor to us, they are trusted allies and valued members of our AAFV family.
