Picture yourself on Coney Island’s Cyclone rollercoaster, sand-

wiched between a bull and a bear as you twist, turn, and drop

on rickety wooden tracks built in the 1920s. You may feel like

you’ve been on this sort of scary but exhilarating ride for the

past year, as the stock market has fluctuated wildly. Or your

stomach may be in knots over the choices you face in the tech-

nology arena or over implementation of GASB 35 or over the

impending energy crisis. (This is starting to sound like a pitch

by a Coney Island game vendor, “Step right up. Take your pick

of issues to battle. Hit the problem-solving bulls eye and win a

fabulous prize.”)

I have a sense of what you have done in order to get here. And because ofthat, I’m just prepared to…declare you heroes and sheroes too.

Crisis seems to be too mild a word to describe conditions in countlessAfrican-American communities. It is beyond crisis when in the richest nation inthe world, African Americans in Harlem live shorter lives that the people ofBangladesh, one of the poorest nations of the world.

HENRY KISSINGERSeen one president, you’ve seen them all.

The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.

P ower is the great aphrodisiac.

The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a subdivision ofp s y c h i a t r y.

The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, theythink it’s their fault.

BOB WOODWA R DAll good work is done in defiance of management.

My Watergate reporting was very important for the country and for journal-ism and for subduing the rightist movement in America, tramping it down andsaying, “Whoa.”

These sessions will be first rate as will be the headliners.The quality of the general session speakers speaks for itself.Sharing top billing are Henry Kissinger, former secretary ofstate; Bob Woodward, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist andassistant managing editor of The Washington Post; JohnnettaCole, president emeritus of Spelman College; and Carl F.Pascarella, president and CEO of Visa U.S.A.

The New York Hilton, the co-host hotel of NACUBO 2001,will be transformed into a thriving marketplace as the annualmeeting’s 200-plus Information Exchange Program vendorsset up shop to inform attendees about their products and ser-vices. You can also shop for the latest publications fromNACUBO and chat with colleagues as you drink coffee andmunch on biscotti in the bookstore/cybercafe.

NACUBO 2001 is such a comprehensive event that you willhave little need to leave the Hilton and the co-host hotel, theSheraton New York, for the duration of the event.(This evenholds true for those who come to the pre-conference programfor new business officers, but not for those who sign up for thepre-conference events with New York financial firms. Theseprograms are being offered at the four firms’ headquarters.)However, the annual meeting planners recognized that youwould want some time to take a bite out of the Big Apple, sothe program allows ample free time. The host hotels are cen-trally located in Midtown Manhattan, less than two blocksfrom Central Park and only several blocks from RockefellerCenter. (OK, fess up that you want to be seen among the mass-es congregated outside The Today Show set. Fortunately foryou, the first session of the day on Monday isn’t until 8 a.m.)

The Big Apple is home to 150 museums, 1,800 restaurants,and 37 Broadway theaters, and NACUBO is offering severaltours and special events that highlight some of New York’sattractions. Catch a Mets vs. Phillies game, see The Producersor Aida on Broadway, or take the Harlem Gospel Tour.Attendees who are looking for opportunities to exercise andsocialize should consider the golf outing at Beaver BrookCountry Club in New Jersey or the fun run/walk on RiversideDrive.
