“Leadership to me isn’t about being the smartest person in the room with all the content expertise, but rather your ability to assemble and develop a great team, create a vision, and inspire others to deliver and realize that vision. I have been truly blessed with a rich and varied set of experiences that I will always take with me to become an even better leader tomorrow” - Ginny Lee, 2009 Oral History
