Team Upstate:

 

Please join me for the launch of this year’s MEC Leadership Lecture series.

I have been watching our speaker on HBO for years and I am very excited for an educational and interesting lecture and discussion.

Mr. Frankel and I will discuss the concept of making personal connections with others, whether they are the subjects of journalistic stories or the patients we care for. 

Please take a one-hour break from your day, enjoy a short walk outside to this amazing theater, and enjoy the event.

You will be glad you did.

 

Thanks for reading,

Stephen
