. . . from the desk of the President of Gordon College

"I have spent the last eight years interviewing senior leaders in government, business and nonprofit life, exploring how senior leaders use the resources at their disposal to advance human flourishing and to serve the common good.  I logged 400,000 miles traveling from Bar Harbor, Maine, to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.  I interviewed presidents, titans of industry, celebrity icons and chief executives of the nation's largest firms.  Yet as I began to analyze the data, I realized that over half of all these interviews took place on the short stretch of land along I-95 from Washington, D.C., to Boston.  This is what we sociologists refer to as the 'power elite' corridor.  It's home to the political, financial and intellectual capitals of the Western world."
