Everwhere. By karen sherman. What a title, right . Each word of the title has meaning within itself and i think you will see that eliminated today during the conversation that karen will have with barbara. I am Marjorie Sims managing director at the Aspen Institute and sly pleasure to step in for my boss pam mosley who is the executive director of aspen and the Vice President at the Aspen Institute. Unfortunately she had a family emergency today and is not able to speak she was heavily involved in the planning and it was her honor to be able to host this book talk because she has been a very close friend for many years. If you know ann you know the personal relationships and commitments are very important to her so only in emergency would have kept her from opening this up. Again thank you for being here and im not going to spend a lot of time because you have the bios in front of you and i think its important to get into the conversation that i am honored to be able to introduce karen
