The selected individuals fulfill The Salvation Army’s promise to “Do the Most Good” with their competence and excellence in innovation, accomplishments and human relationships.

At Territorial Headquarters, Richard Freeman works as field software manager, using technology to further the work of The Salvation Army throughout the Western Territory. He contributed significantly to the Army being recognized in 2005 as one of the nation’s top innovators in the information technology field.
