DISTINGUISHED GUESTS

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

I AM HONOURED TO HAVE BEEN INVITED JOIN YOU FOR THE OPENING SESSION OF THE 2007 GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT.

ALLOW ME TO EXTEND A VERY WARM AND SPECIAL WELCOME TO EACH OF YOU WHO HAVE COME TO THE BAHAMAS TO TAKE PART IN THIS SUMMIT. I HOPE THAT DURING YOUR STAY HERE, YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE BAHAMAS – THE WARMTH OF ITS PEOPLE, ITS FLORA, FAUNA AND MARINE LIFE.

I WISH TO THANK THE INTERNATIONAL THIRD WORLD LEADERSHIP ASSOCIATION AND IN PARTICULAR DR. MYLES MUNROE FOR SPONSORING SUCH TIMELY DISCUSSIONS ON THE ISSUE OF LEADERSHIP.

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT LEADERS ARE MADE NOT BORN. THIS SUMMIT WILL CERTAINLY OFFER ALL PARTICIPANTS IMPORTANT TOOLS TO HELP THEM BECOME BETTER LEADERS. DR. MUNROE AND HIS TEAM HAVE CERTAINLY BROUGHT TOGETHER SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED AND GIFTED SPEAKERS TO LEAD YOU IN YOUR DISCUSSIONS

THIS YEAR’S SUMMIT IS UNDER THE THEME "THE POWER, PRIORITY AND ROLE OF CHARACTER IN LEADERSHIP". THIS SUMMIT WILL PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EXECUTIVES, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, PROFESSIONALS, POLITICIANS, IN FACT ALL LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP IN SOCIETY TO REFLECT ON WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A LEADER AND THE ROLE THAT CHARACTER PLAYS IN WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE AN EFFECTIVE LEADER.

IN ADDITION TO HELPING YOU BECOME BETTER LEADERS, ANOTHER OBJECTIVE OF AN ANNUAL SUMMIT SUCH AS THIS, IS TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. FOR AFTER ALL, IT IS THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT YOU DEVELOP AT THIS SUMMIT THAT WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE SUPPORT AND THE GUIDANCE TO CARRY OUT THE LESSONS LEARNED DURING YOUR SESSIONS. I TRUST THAT EACH YOU WILL HAVE ESTABLISHED FRIENDSHIPS GOING FORWARD AND WILL LEAVE HERE FEELING BLESSED AND UPLIFTED.

I WANT TO AGAIN WELCOME YOU TO THE BAHAMAS AND HOPE THAT YOU HAVE EXTREMELY PRODUCTIVE SESSIONS.
