We have a similar program here run by the Chamber of Commerce, that I participated in during 2006.

The program had a tremendous impact on my personally and professionally; I’m so thankful I was able to do it.

Our program is setup so that one person from each class is asked to return for the following two years to co-chair the program, and I was fortunate enough to be asked, so I’ll be doing my third “tour of duty” in 2008.

I have no doubt that you’ll be a leader among leaders with your program, and I’d love to hear your feedback during and after the program to see if Tuscaloosa is doing things we’d like to incorporate into our program.

Again, congrats!
