The Breakdown of My Board Meeting Speech

It is pretty difficult to convey all of your thoughts and feelings in just 3 minutes. However that is all the time I had when I addressed the CCS Board on August 9th. And while I can't even begin to address everything in this Podcast episode, I can at least breakdown my speech a little to bring more context and understanding to my perspective.
