PRESIDENT’S REPORT

After sixteen years as your president, I want to share with you what it’s like to sit in the president’t chair.

To discover that the position is not as powerful as some people think it is; that the total view from the top can reveal considerable complexity as well as unified simplicity; that the president’s publics occasionally love him for the right reason and hate him for the wrong reason.

Because I enjoy being the president, I can tell you that being the president is a lot of fun.
