Only a few days left and on September 1st, I can wear the traditional black blazer and join the Past Presidents who have helped keep MDRT vital for 80 years. As I reflect on my five years on your Executive Committee and the nine months as nominee, I’m amazed by everything I was privileged to experience.
I have become a citizen of the world, not just a citizen of my native country. Our MDRT members are simply amazing! The breadth of their abilities, talents, and hearts has an effect on families, communities and others well beyond the members of any other organization or profession.
MDRT talks, but, more importantly, now acts as an international organization. MDRT has a Governance Model that empowers leadership in conjunction with staff to make and implement appropriate decisions for the benefit of our members. Yet, we remain and are ever committed to leadership by our members who continue to give of their time and talent to improve and maintain MDRT. Our members’ leadership is supported and implemented by the finest staff of association professionals ever assembled. Yes, if I may boast, MDRT was strong, is strong and will remain strong.
Personally, I am organizing the thousands of pictures many of you have provided during the traveling my wife and I have done and from our Annual Meetings, MDRT Experiences and various other meetings. Selling life insurance is now a focus of the majority of my time. Our only daughter is getting married in September – an exciting event for the Rothschild family. Thus, life is more regular but never normal.
