Recently retired FRAC president Jim Weill reflects on a career spent fighting hunger and poverty
Let me start by thanking everyone involved in tonight’s event – those who organized it; those who supported it; everyone who came – some from far away (including some from California); those who have said nice things about me tonight; and those who complied with my request to drop certain pictures out of the slide show.
And I also want to thank my wonderful family – Judy, and my children Andy and Jennie who are here tonight. And I deeply thank FRAC’s staff and Board for their commitment, work, support and tolerance of my idiosyncrasies over these last 22 years. As all those of you who run organizations know, we CEOs get more credit than we deserve and less blame than we deserve. And that is certainly true for me.
