Mr. Walsh said, "During my career in public service and having worked with and been responsible for thousands of constituencies, one of the challenges I faced was communicating with them in a simultaneous and uniform way.  Having recently been introduced to Jeff Corbin, the founder of theCOMMSapp, it became clear that their mobile app communications technology platform solves this challenge.  I am excited to work with Jeff and his team to provide theCOMMSapp to the public sector, higher education and other groups as they look for new ways to improve their communications."

Jeff Corbin, Founder and CEO of theCOMMSapp said, "Over the past year, theCOMMSapp platform has experienced great interest and adoption by organizations that want to utilize mobile technology to establish a direct channel of communications with their targeted constituents.  Whether it be public companies looking to communicate with their investors through our IR app solution or employers looking for a way to push information out to their workforce through theEMPLOYEEapp, our technology platform was created so that any organization that has a direct and targeted audience now has a means to quickly and cost effectively have an app available on Apple's App Store and the Google Play and to be able to communicate with their important audiences."

Corbin concluded, "Governments and other public sector groups as well as educational institutions can greatly benefit from our platform since they have thousands of individuals across multiple constituents that require direct, tailored communications. Having Rob as an advisor will allow us to better understand the challenges that these groups face and to continue to develop our technology to be the premier mobile communications solution."
