“It was an easy decision for you to be our first international participant in the AAO Leadership Development Program and we both knew it would lead to the first multi-national program, the Pan Am Curso de Liderazgo. Your engaging manner easily convinced the elders that next generation colleagues deserved earlier opportunities and responsibilities — it was clear to me that you served others more than self.”

Tribute to Mark Mannis
“Recently I was reading your own words in a profile to celebrate your Academy EnergyEYES Award at the last AAO. I quote:
‘Mentoring – A Major Career Accomplishment’
