Hello, I'm Ian Green. I'm proud, honored, and humbled to serve as the 95th president of MDRT. For MDRT members, the last year has been a challenging one in so many different ways. But despite the dark moments caused by the global pandemic, the work of MDRT member volunteers such as you has remained a bright, shining, guiding light. As this testing year has passed, I've been continually inspired by your work and attention on behalf of MDRT. Despite the challenges, I've observed and witnessed nonstop optimism, hope, respect, helpfulness, sharing community, trust and caring.
MDRT volunteer member is a special kind of person, even when we are not together during a global pandemic. In fact, I think especially when we're not together during a global pandemic. I've made so many friends and gained so much knowledge through this organization that's helped me in both my personal and professional life. Well, I have the honor of being president and part of the executive committee because of other MDRT members like you sharing their ideas, passing on their experiences, and guiding me on the way. And having served in so many volunteer roles, I found no matter how much I gave of myself, I always seem to get back more in return. And during the last year, I hope you found the same.
On behalf of the entire executive committee and our global membership, thank you very much for your volunteerism and your exceptional contribution to MDRT.
