“This has been a rewarding experience for AIT and our employees in supporting the work of the American Red Cross,” said Michael Roberts, AIT Chief Operating Officer. "We are excited to be a community partner and look forward to how we can leverage our knowledge and experience in the web hosting industry to help the efforts of the American Red Cross.”
