Durbin is currently responsible for the acquisition of materials and media to major services through bidding and contracting initiatives. He appreciates his AFEP membership because of the strong community the group builds among military veteran employees. "This business resource group is important to me because it brings together a community of like-minded service members who value a strong sense of organizational camaraderie," said Durbin.
