Where does the time go? It’s been fourteen months and it seems just like yesterday you elected me Chair of the ISPE International Board of Directors. In just a few short weeks I will transfer Chairmanship to Chair-elect Tim Howard at the 2017 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo in San Diego. I know that he will continue to provide sound leadership to our Society, and I look forward to supporting him and his leadership endeavors.
As I reflect on the past year, I am proud of what we have accomplished and how we have positioned our Society for sustained growth and world-wide respect. I hope each or you are equally as proud because you all played a significant role in our Society being where it is today and on a path, that will ensure even greater future success.
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much..”
I will be forever grateful for your support and confidence in me as your leader.
