It was a peaceful start to December 24th. The entire family was still in bed, I am long-since up, on my 2nd cup of coffee and reading the daily paper, and what do I find in the business section of the Minneapolis Star Tribune — a full-color teaser on the front page, and what feels like a full page article on page 2, covering you and your Vistage groups. Congratulations! This kind of coverage is a trailing measure of the great work you have been doing with your Vistage CEOs. And, the professor from St. Thomas is right on — communication in the executive suite is so attenuated, CEOs need a place where they can talk directly about the issues they face.

On to more important things: I hope you, Deb, and your family are all well, and that you all are able to enjoy a warm and peaceful Christmas. Then, on to a bright and prosperous 2013.

All the best,

Lou Quast
