or the “Company”), an award-winning, industry-leading manufacturer
and systems developer, today announced that Derek Anderson has
joined as a member of the Board of Advisors.
Since retiring from the NBA, Derek Anderson
founded the Stamina Foundation which provides educational
programming and events which empower youth and young adults with
resources and life skills. The Stamina Foundation has paved the way
for over 100 under-privileged youth to attend college in a 20 year
span.
Derek was drafted as the 13th pick in the 1997
NBA draft and became the first player signed to the Michael Jordan
Brand and given his own signature shoe. With his first pay check
from the NBA, he started his Foundation. In 2006, Derek won a World
Title with the Miami Heat, becoming 1 of 13 players to win both an
NCAA and NBA championship. He retired after an eleven-year NBA
career in 2008. After retirement, he expanded his business life and
opened two hotels in Turks & Caicos, his own film studio
(Loyalty Media Group), and began writing novels and screenplays. In
2010, Derek produced and directed the documentary "The Untouchables
of Kentucky."
Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly, said: “We are
excited and truly honoured to have Derek Anderson agree to join
Draganfly’s outstanding Board of Advisors. Derek brings an
incredible level of enthusiasm to our board coupled with a genuine
understanding of the importance of our Vital Intelligence
technology as an enabler in keeping schools open and ensuring that
the lives of our youth continue as normal as possible through
sports and other important activities.”
“I am honoured to have been appointed to
Draganfly’s Board of Advisors,” said Derek Anderson. “I am looking
forward to actively working with the Draganfly team to advocate for
stronger health assessment measures across arenas and schools so
that our athletes and youth can continue to move forward with their
future.”
