There are so many aspects of conference I am looking forward to this year. One of which is our Sponsor a Student Program at the Annual Awards Luncheon at conference. Today’s newsletter article features the student IPRA is sponsoring at our table this year, Lukas Wyss from the University of St. Francis.
As I prepare to step down from the role of IPRA Chairman of the Board, I reflect on the past year. Our 33rd President Harry Truman once said "Men and Women make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better."
