a moment the other day when he was looking at a rate sheet from 1991 and
thought about how things were so simple then. There used to be over 100 members
at the annual meeting and how time has changed. He feels this is a great
industry to be in. An industry that entertains the world as well as connects
the world. He has watched the Association develop and evolve and become more
politically acquainted. He thanked the staff for their hard work and a great
job. Chairman R. Wieand said he is honored and appreciates the opportunity to
be the BCAP Chairman.
