Letter from the
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
There is a proverb stating that smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. 2009 challenged the Zamorano community with rough seas that inspired us to re-evaluate how we support our mission. Beginning with Ken Hoadley’s letter, this annual report serves to illustrate the remarkable achievements of this challenging year.
Rough seas are instructive and strengthening and require a dedicated captain and thoughtful master plan. I am pleased that Zamorano has both. The year served to highlight Dr. Hoadley’s leadership and the effective partnership of faculty, staff, alumni, students, benefactors and trustees. Never has the team been more dynamic, or a master plan more exciting.
The collaboration that characterizes the Zamorano family was evident when the Board of Trustees met in Quito, later in Atlanta, and also on campus. For us, no meeting venue is as constructive as the latter – but it is indeed gratifying for the Board to experience the scope and relevance of Zamorano in the international arena.
To all of you who visit this website, and to those of you who support us, we thank you. I trust that you will be impressed with Zamorano’s accomplishments.
Sincerely,
Frederick Falck
Chairman, Board of Trustees
