"I always say I went to the 'University of The Continentals'. All I learned about mission, passion, excellence and purpose were birthed out of my Continental experience. What is often called 'the experience of a lifetime' was for me 'a lifetime of experience'. It is my great privilege to lead CGF to an ongoing future of Vision, Leadership, Excellence and Impact"
