 [ Houston , TX – Jan. 22, 2008 ] The Better Business Bureau of Greater Houston & South Texas named Don Valentine, CEO & Owner of John Moore Services, Inc. as Chairman of the Board of Directors.  

“As the champion of marketplace trust, the BBB board and staff believes that our mission is to communicate standards of ethical business and charitable practices, encourage adherence to these standards, and when necessary, exposing substandard behavior.  As a member-based organization, we know we must provide real membership value by promoting the BBB as the symbol of trust and our members as a cut above non-members” said Valentine.
