"I am honored to join you for the 90th anniversary of Management Development. You have survived, thrived and grown, and you have made enormous contributions to workers and the workforce landscape. You have a rich history and rich foundation, and you really have been the strategists and tactical players helping to boost performance, enhance productivity and come up with value-added solutions.
