(NAUTICAL)This issue focuses on the young leaders who are moving the industry forward—a monumental task, no doubt. I want to switch it up a bit and give some credit where, often, credit is lost. I titled the article ‘Dead Winds,’ a nautical term I picked up in my youth while living aboard a sailboat. One little boat always stuck out and caught my attention; her name was ‘Tenacity.’ A very fitting name for a sailing vessel heading into ‘dead wind’. Much like the technicians of today vying for a slice of the pie as they head into ‘dead wind’ each day, they require a lot of tenacity to persevere.
