Looking ahead.
At our meeting last fall, I told our senior leaders that my vision for this company is
simple and clear. We will be the best place to work, do business and invest, and we will
be the company that matters the most to our communities and our country. As we
enter a new century, I am pleased that we are working together to turn this vision into
reality. The future of your company is taking shape, and it’s a bright one.
One of the key decisions we made to provide for the future leadership of your
company was the election of Vice Chairman Jim Hance and President Ken Lewis
to your board of directors. In addition, Ken was named by the board to the newly
created post of chief operating officer. In this role, Ken has responsibility for
running the day-to-day business of your company. To that end, he will chair a new
operating committee, whose members are listed below, that brings together top
leaders from all corners of our company. We believe this organization will enhance
communication, the timeliness of decision making and our ability to push policies
and strategies down through the company quickly.
I welcome both Jim and Ken to the board, and congratulate them on their
new responsibilities. These two individuals give me great confidence in our
company’s future.
I also would like to thank the members of our board for their service and
counsel during a year of great change. You all have my sincere gratitude. In closing,
as always, I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.
