Dear Member,
The new year is fully underway, and I hope that you are off to a terrific start to your spring semester. February has begun, and it is with great pride that we honor Black History Month.
The National Society of Leadership and Success is a champion of diversity, and we are committed to fostering a community of inclusion. At this time of reflection in acknowledging African-heritage citizens' contributions – past and present, we encourage everyone to stay vigilant as we strive for a future without racial injustice, bias, or bigotry.
As a leader, you have the power to help shape a more unified and equal society. Remember, together, we can bring about positive change in the world, as we all have far more in common than we have differences.
I wish you an exciting and inspired new year of learning.
Charles Knippen
President
The National Society of Leadership and Success
