I am sorry you were unable to attend, BUT, I have great confidence that I will see you in Denver. And thanks for tuning in along the way via the blog to see some snippets--my colleague April did a GREAT job capturing various video segments (thanks again April, you are a rock star!). Looking forward to seeing you soon. Hi Charles, so glad you were able to see glimpses of Convention. I am sorry you were unable to attend, BUT, I have great confidence that I will see you in Denver.

Lord willing and my body recuperates we will be in Colorado next year. Thank you so much Raz for allowing us to see all our friends and associates in Univera

That event will stand as one of my most favorite business memories. Yes, it is amazing to have a dad as a hero, I hope someday my kids will look at me the same way. In fact, just as I wrote that sentence one of my daughters is hugging up on me (Royce) and she said "I wish I could marry you, Dad", so perhaps there's hope that I can keep some type of hero status. :) Such a spectacular video clip re. Team Hoyt, I never tire of watching and hearing the exceptional story that touches on so many levels--it is a magical example of some of the incredible gifts people can give to each other, family or otherwise.

Thank you for the passion and heart you dedicate to this effort and your work on a daily basis--we can see it very clearly out here in the field. I really appreciated the personal story you shared about your father and how that served as an inspiration for you. It is truly a blessing to have a father as an example or better yet as a hero. As you consider alternative areas of focus or themes for next year, consider how "team" plays such a central role in what you do and what the field does to succeed and how we can learn about maximizing the effectiveness of teams at convention. The ability to work with and through teams, particularly in a cross-cultural environment as Univera expands globally, will become even more critical. This will be the story of Univera over the next ten years! I leave you with the following video clip about an amazing team to serve as inspiration to you this year and beyond: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb_tEOkcfds. All the best from the Chicago team!

We'll use them to inspire ourselves and motivate others for 2010 in Denver. May you, Erica and the girls have a great 4th. Thought for 2019. "Twenty Years - No Borders!"
