From the CEO Daniel Mulloy | Chief Executive Officer, ARTA Visionary Leadership Leadership is having a compelling vision, a comprehensive plan, relentless implementation, and talented people working together. — Alan Mulally I believe that vision and leadership go hand in hand. Great leaders develop great vision; great vision inspires people to be great leaders. Over the years, ARTA has developed a great vision: to see all of its members enjoying an engaged lifestyle in retirement. ARTA and its board of directors, committee members, and staff are working relentlessly to ensure that this vision is a reality for each and every member. ARTA is so fortunate to be surrounded by talented people working together, and this culmination of talent is what makes ARTA a special place. Vision alone is not enough; leadership and vision need to work together to ensure success. The best example of this has been ARTA’s management of COVID-19. The ability to change course, develop unique plans, and use imagination and wisdom, all while looking toward the future is a great example of leadership and vision working together. The changes we have all had to make have not been easy. I am proud of the talented and wise people leading ARTA through this pandemic, all while planning for the future. COVID-19 will one day end, and when it does, we will continue to chase our vision. I want to thank all of you for your patience as we work through the chaos. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has helped to keep us safe. I want to express my condolences to those of you who have suffered loss. Leadership and vision go hand in hand. I am proud to say that ARTA and its members are wellserved by talented people who believe in our vision and who are all leaders. Hoping you are well. news&views AUTUMN 2020 | 7
