As chairman, I look forward to being actively engaged with Sorenson and CaptionCall and supporting Scott in his new role.”

“I am honored and excited to lead Sorenson and CaptionCall — two companies that have truly revolutionized communication services for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. Pat Nola has put together two phenomenal organizations with a workforce of creative, dedicated and talented people who make a difference daily in the lives of our customers. I am thrilled to build on the base that Pat prepared and work with the board and management team to take us to the next level,” said Sorensen.
