Ron Fournier on Leadership

  • "We're living in an era of unprecedented change, and I want to be a part of documenting it."

  • "Climate change was a point of division between Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney. The president declared climate change a global threat, acknowledged that the actions of humanity were deepening the crisis, and pledged to do something about it if elected."
