She was also involved in the launch of the digital learning platform “AIMS connectED“ of the industry association AIMS International.

“Darlene is an incredible addition to the E&A team,” said E&A COO Richard ‘RAC’ Carroll. “Her support of our programs over the past decade has been invaluable. We are thrilled that she has joined our outstanding team on a full-time basis as we expand our products and services to be an even greater resource for our clients and the aquatics industry as a whole. E&A’s innovations in aquatic safety are something we are quite proud of, and Darlene has been part of that DNA for more than twenty years. Everything that we do, as a company, is for one purpose – to make an incredibly safe industry even safer.” (eap)
