we'd like to talk to you.

theater, museums, major universities, arts and jazz festivals, great
parks, restaurants, and shopping. Recreational options include beautiful
sites to golf, hike, jog, canoe, bike or ski, and there are major league
sports teams to root for. There is easy access to a major international
airport. It's about a four-hour drive to Chicago. In today's climate
of downsizing and mergers, you may have colleagues available for something
new. This is a wonderful opportunity to join a major organization with
quality leadership.
