I m mindful of words that are attributed to Lyndon Johnson. Once after a particularly generous introduction, he made the comment, thank you for that introduction. Your recognition is an honor for me and one I accept with great humility as I join such illustrious past award winners, and my current colleagues in your Outstanding Business Leader designation. It s a special treat for me because I ve come to know something of Northwood, because I, my company and my colleagues share a community with this outstanding institution and in the process, have come to know Northwood and the Northwood ideals and principles on which the institution stands. We ve come to know the faculty as friends and neighbors and people who give of their time and talents tirelessly to the community.
