We have much to celebrate today. The work of two years together has seen us challenge our traditional ways of doing things with an eye towards making the GCV relevant and successful. All committees have risen to this challenge. Listen to what has happened and how change will frame the future. In my speech to member clubs, I reminded them that we have a tendency to bow to tradition when our predecessors were cutting-edge, risk takers. “The way we’ve always done it” can be a fortress that makes it impossible for new ideas to penetrate an esteemed institution. We have shown our traditions can be enhanced with a fresh look and a critical eye.
