We are approaching four years since my late wife Jamie died. During late summer we will hold the four year anniversary of the Foundation that we launched in her name. The Foundation's emphasis around connecting the leaders of tomorrow with the leaders of today and our single minded focus on improving civic engagement so that all of our communities are stronger, healthier, and more vibrant began with her inspiration. Today, she remains our North Star.
