The framework for making decisions around awards is very different than my personal framework around decisions that I'd like to implement at the academy. As it relates to awards, it's a very straightforward process. The awards or other changes and proposals are different. introduced by our members.

They're discussed through appropriate committee, whether it's planning and governance or awards and nominations. It goes through the committee system. They vote it up or down. It then goes to the board of trustees, and it gets voted up or down. And I don't have a vote in those things. I try and make sure the conversations are going in the right direction, but that really comes down to

our board and our chair. Once those things are put in place, then I have to decide how to implement them. And that's a pretty straightforward process around awards. But maybe the broader question you're asking is like, how do I personally, how do I CEO? How do I make the decisions in my role?

And I spend a lot of time listening, to be honest, and I'm not sure what the answer is for some of your other people that you've interviewed or other CEOs, but I don't pretend to know more than I know. I'm a lifetime learner, not a knower. And so when it comes time for a decision, I tend to move relatively quickly. I don't sit and stew.

And to this point, my instincts and my finger has been on the pulse of what our organization wants or needs, and our members seem to be resonating with the decisions that have been happening. But if my personal taste or feelings fall out of favor with that, then it would really change my decision-making process.
