Revision as of 21:49, 22 January 2025 by JustHereToTidyUpEditingMistakes (talk | contribs) (Made some minor adjustments to spelling/grammar, tense consistency, and Wiki article language. However, there was a bigger change towards the start of the article, including a note I found to be irrelevant, and an adjustment to the founding date. I can't add references or use the discussion page, but the founding date came from a combination of visiting the Chamberlain Group website and a quick check on the lackluster Wikipedia page. For best results, find the company's legal documentation.)
