Regional President Speech

Cathy E. Minehan · President
Good evening everyone. It is truly a pleasure and an honor to be part of this celebration in honor of Sheryl Marshall. She has been my friend for almost 10 years now-a friend whose joyous laugh, and heartfelt sympathy and support have sustained me and so many others. You know, when I looked at the guest list for tonight, I couldn't help but think-who else but Sheryl could bring together such a stellar and diverse group. Senior executives from insurance, health care, management consulting, money management, and high tech; non-profit execs. and philanthropists; state and national political figures; authors and management consultants; blaek and white; ife,vs snd ean•Jew/- and I'm just talking about the women. Truly Sheryl has a unique gift for bringing us together around a cause, to glimpse a new financial opportunity, and, sometimes, just to go shopping. Sheryl, to paraphrase a television celebrity, "You are the strongest link." On behalf of the American Jewish Committee, it gives me great pleasure to present this award, which is a seriograph, in Hebrew and English calligraphy, of a quote from the Sage Hillel. The quote is a nugget of wisdom-one that Sheryl so clearly understands. It reads: "If I am not for myself, who is for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?" And the inscription reads: The American Jewish Committee Institute of Human Relations Award Presented to Sheryl R. Marshall May 22, 2001 In recognition of her lifelong commitment to the Boston community.
