AMBASSADOR WAYNE REMARKS FOR THE WPO RECEPTION
February 12, 2008
My wife Pam and I want to welcome all of you this evening. It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to host this event celebrating the World President’s Organization Southeastern Chapter’s Winter Meeting in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires.
I want to commend James Bradshaw for selecting Buenos Aires. I hope all of you will have good opportunity to experience this wonderful city and to meet some of Argentina’s outstanding citizens.
I know that the World Presidents Organization has a mission that includes promoting a candid exchange of ideas. This type of information sharing process is vital in today's world.
Now that you have traveled from the great Southeastern part of the United States all the way to Buenos Aires, I hope that your time in Argentina will allow you to hear some new and interesting perspectives and build some new information pathways that can keep informing you and your new Argentine friends long after this event.
I hope that all of you have a very pleasant evening building those bridges. I would like to leave you with a quote by another Southerner William Faulkner who said. . . “Business is always interfering with pleasure, but it makes other pleasures possible." I would also like to add. . . and if we do it right, business can be pleasure too.
I would now like to ask James Bradshaw, Chairman of the Chapter’s Winter Meeting to now say a few words.
