Behind each of us is a trail of boards (most happily) where we have worked, wrestled and wondered about matters of
great and small importance. That has been our fertile ground of training. Whatever we may know or be able to do
or value is because of those fine and forebearing executives and board members who have been our colleagues in one good cause
or another. And through the fortuitous merger of our six diverse trails, we have found commonality of experience and
insights we hope will be of value to others embarking on similar presidential journeys...
Our conviction is that what you have agreed to do is most significant and that you deserve assistance and satisfaction
in the doing of it. Our hope is that you will find something on the pages that follow that will inform, enhance, and
enliven your term as board president.
