From the President

Each year, I recommend the best books that I've enjoyed over the past twelve months. This was a great year.

Pete Hammond was a unique human being. Friend. Mentor. Entrepreneur. Author. Rascal. Anyone who ever heard his laugh will never forget it. And Pete laughed a lot.

ONS is, quite simply, one of my favorite times of the year. This year's cohort seemed to be a tad older than previous years, some bringing years of outside experience.

Last month, as Mary and I sat teary-eyed watching our oldest daughter graduate from Georgetown University, I reflected back on a much different set of emotions just two years ago.

Every year, I list the books that have influenced me most over the past twelve months. I am always tickled when staff take my recommendations to heart, pick one of the books to read, and later share their insights with me.
