A message from Sandy. Sometimes we are to wrapped up in ourselves to notice what is happening around us. We look at the world through “me-tinted” glasses. How does this affect me?

A message from Sandy. Theodore Hesburgh said ” The very essence of leadership is that you have a vision. It’s got to be a vision you can articulate clearly and forcefully on every occasion.
