One of the most recognized historians of the day, Goodwin

States.
Author of several best-selling books, Goodwin won the Pulitzer

leadership qualities - including his wisdom in building
and maintaining teams in the midst of critically trying
circumstances and his ability to overcome incredible obstacles.
