The Legacy, the Present, and the Challenges for the Future

Abstract

Because I view this presentation as a “state of the union” report and because this meeting marks the end of our 60th Anniversary year and the beginning of our 61st year, I thought it might be well to spend a little time discussing the legacy left by those who came before us; where we are at present; and the challenges facing us in the future. In my view, the challenges facing LERA in its goal to shape the workplace of the future have never been greater and the Association has never had as many opportunities to provide real and lasting solutions to those challenges as it does now.
