"I am delighted to be this year’s speaker for the Hycroft Lecture and to have the opportunity to speak to you about leadership, community, and social and economic change at such an interesting and transformational time for us all. There is no doubt that our world has lived through a very challenging couple of years and, as CEO of YVR Airport, I lead an organization that continues to be affected by the pandemic and the associated changes in priorities and choices of our customers, stakeholders, partners, and allies. This year's lecture will take the form of a more intimate fireside chat, and I'm looking forward to interacting with members and guests and answering your questions at Hycroft on May 25th."
