"We are grateful that Essent is helping us to succeed with mentorship programming and our mission to further educate the promotional products industry. It feels incredibly good to know that a sharp group of folks at Essent care enough to give back through their investment in PromoKitchen’s efforts,” Mr. Rosin added.
