President's Column
By Mack Smith
This is the
time of year that CLEAR’s president sums up the activities of the preceding
months before turning over the helm to a new leader.
Perhaps most satisfying to me is that this has been a year of increased
financial stability for CLEAR following a fairly difficult two years. Many of
you are experiencing your own unprecedented budgetary woes, yet you continue to
support our important organization and for that I thank you.
