"This book is itself reason to celebrate. It chronicles the increasing richness and ethnic diversity in our profession; it recognizes the significant contributions made by these members; and it celebrates the leadership of many pioneers within the Association. This book is a look back at where we have come from and a look forward at some of our younger leaders who will define the future of the profession.� - Past President, Robert L. Oakley (2001-02), Foreword
