What a week this has been! First, I was invited to and attended meetings with leadership at the DOL and IRS in Washington to discuss benefit issues and policy considerations. Then I got word that the IL Senate‘s executive appointments committee advanced to the full Senate my appointment to the NEIU board of trustees. And if that wasn’t enough, on my flight home the plane’s right engine blew out at cruising altitude, causing panic and an emergency landing at the nearest airfield. A big thank you to everyone that made this week possible (especially to the pilots and flight crew that guided us through the crisis and got us on the ground safely)!
Hi Jorge, I'm rarely on LI but jumped on today and saw your post. First, I'm so glad you got home safely! What a scary event. Thank goodness for professionals in the air and on the ground. Second, congrats on your continuing achievements in the benefits industry!!!
Congrats and thank God you landed safely.
Happy you were able to return home safely, Jorge. Sounds like you are on a "fast track."
