Hello Michael,
I am, as always, humbled by your work and observations:  as the U.S. economy tumbles even further, you're right to point out that however tough it may be here at home, we still don't have the struggles of our colleagues in foreign capitals.  At Urban Bush Women, we are trying to have the discipline to move away from the quick fix, and - yes you were right! - having engaged board members around the table really helps in considering new solutions to age-old problems.  Travel safe.
