“AESC members play an enormously important role in strengthening leadership worldwide,” said Mr. Datri. “The special skills, relationships, intellect, and expertise AESC members bring to the table in a collaborative process with their clients shape the landscape of regional, national, and global leadership. In a fast-changing world that needs great leaders to build and innovate, to solve the big issues, to foster opportunity, and to move us forward, AESC and its members play a critical and expansive role.
