I am grateful for the more than 30 years that I have been at IEL, the last eight, as president. Connecting leaders from grassroots to grass tops has always driven my work. It’s a principle that is even more important in this era of the “devolution revolution,” with the federal government reducing its commitment to children youth and families. You’ll learn a little more about my thinking in videos and pictures from IEL’s celebration of my contribution to the organization. It was a memorable experience as have been all my IEL years. Thank you. View a recording of my retirement reception. VIEW PHOTO GALLERY…
