"These five days offered me the chance to step away from the challenges of my job to focus on the personal and corporate challenges that lie over the horizon. It also gave me a new set of peers with a shared experience whom I can contact for ideas and development. This small investment will pay big dividends to my company's future and employees."
Art Gorman [Chief Operating Officer for Public Finance], Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, U.S.
