Winter quarter is on its third week and yesterday I attended the first session of Albers Executive Speaker Series. The featured speaker was John Stanton, Chairman of Clearwater and Trilogy International Partners. He discussed “Navigating Unintended Consequences” and his experience in the wireless industry.

Stanton is also founder and former CEO of Western Wireless Corporation and former chairman and CEO of Voice Stream Wireless. It was a great session and I hope you were able to hear him speak yesterday. If you were unable to join us, I hope you can make it to the next session. The next featured speakers would be David Beckmann, President of Bread for the World on Tuesday Feb 28th and Jim Sinegal, Former CEO of Costco Wholesale on Thursday March 1st.
