Let me add my voice to the chorus in support of Brian Beckham.  Whatever
list of co-chair criteria you put together, Brian measures up. Most
importantly, Brian has the knowledge and perspective to understand that
what we are trying to do is bigger than one set of stakeholders or one
viewpoint or one desired outcome.  He also knows what he’s getting himself
into. And he’s doing it anyway.
