NEW YORK, August 9, 2024 — Joe Torre Safe At Home today announced that Chris Flood, Verizon’s Atlantic North Market President, and Jeff Proctor, President and Founder of television production company ProAngle Media, have joined its Board of Directors.

In his current role as Verizon’s Atlantic North Market President, Flood is responsible for overseeing all consumer sales, distribution, and operational execution across the market’s 12 states and the District of Columbia, leading a team of more than 2,900 employees. Flood is a distinguished leader with a remarkable 22- year career at Verizon, during which he has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and a proven track record of success. In the Atlantic North Market, he has cultivated a culture of integrity, performance excellence, transparency, and a strong commitment to giving back to the communities Verizon serves. In his previous role, Flood served as the Consumer Vice President of Verizon Consumer Group’s Northeast Region, where he led corporate retail and indirect sales.

“It is a privilege to join Safe At Home, and it’s a responsibility that I embrace with great pride and excitement,” said Flood. “I am honored to be a part of this incredible organization and contribute to its mission of providing essential resources, security and hope to children impacted by domestic violence.”

With more than 30 years of experience in television production, Proctor produced hundreds of professional and collegiate sporting events and served as executive producer for thousands of others. He is the President and Founder of ProAngle Media, a production company responsible for local and national telecasts for clients such as CBS, ESPN, FOX, the Los Angeles Chargers, among others. Recently, Proctor expanded beyond his primary focus on sports to develop, sell and produce game show “Person, Place or Thing,” which currently airs on nearly 200 television stations nationally. Prior to establishing ProAngle, Proctor was the Vice President of Sports for KCBS and KCAL where he oversaw the duopoly’s sports content.

“I am excited and honored to be a part of Safe At Home,” said Proctor. “Not only am I a long-time admirer of Joe and Ali Torre, but to be a part of such an incredible organization that helps kids in need is very satisfying and rewarding. I look forward to helping Safe At Home accomplish its mission of helping at risk kids cope with their trauma and find hope and healing for their futures.”
