New Leaders Benefit

“Ladies and gentlemen, I do not have to tell you we are living in challenging times. But, the fact is, this is our time, our only time…to do everything we can do to increase mutual cooperation and respect at every single level throughout the world.”

Tom Sandell, Co-Founder of the New Leaders Group
