On November 12, I had a conference call with Air Products’ CEO, Chairman and President John McGlade, Laurie Gostley-Hackett and SkillsUSA Board Member Joe Pietrantonio to discuss their recommendations for ways to build upon the success of the CEO Champion of the Year award process and the dinner for next year. In addition to suggestions for expanding media coverage and government relations opportunities, John said he would like to be personally involved in recruiting and preparing the next CEO nominee. That’s a generous offer to SkillsUSA’s future success, and one I certainly plan to accept.

As I’ve previously mentioned, staff has edited the video footage of the entire CEO Champion of the Year event at the Waldorf=Astoria to a nice summary of the evening and it’s all done in 10 minutes. To watch the video, please visit: www.skillsusa.org/supporters/ceochampion.shtml and scroll down. The video is well worth seeing.
