Thanks for 25 Great Years

Just a note to thank PCT and Syngenta for 25 years of doing a superb job on the Crown Leadership Awards. It’s always an honor to be present and see your two organizations “pull this off” without a hitch, as though there is nothing to it. There is lots to it and you can well be proud.

Leadership Was a Great Event

Thank you very much again for an amazing evening at the Crown Leadership Awards reception. I really enjoyed it and I truly appreciate the honor and the support of PCT and Syngenta. In addition, thanks very much to (PCT Managing Editor) Brad Harbison for all the effort he put into the article. My family loves it and my students learned a lot more about me. Thank you all again.

Clear Communication is Key

I thought that PCT Editor Jodi Dorsch wrote a great article that is very useful (“Clear Communication is Key,” ViewPoint, August 2013). I filed it away for future reference. Writing is like many things. It is easier to know what to do, than it is to actually do it.
