Birthday Reflection

I don't know when my birthday became a town holiday, but today was a great surprise. I spent the entire afternoon reading the comments you all wrote about me and my leadership style. I want you to know that each and every letter that you wrote touched me and helped to affirm in me that I am doing what is needed at Antioch. It is clear that you all understand what is important to me and I am thankful that I have been able to model those behaviors. I am touched that you all have the trust in me as a leader and I do not plan to let you down.

I often feel that I am getting credit for the great things that are happening at Antioch and I truly believe that I am only a small part of those accomplishments. Each day that I enter the building and look around I am amazed at the incredible staff we have acquired. Leading this team is truly an amazing opportunity and I thank you all for taking the time out of your busy days to write the kind words that you shared about me. This book is something that I will keep with me throughout my career.
