Farewell Harley Kid

Our hearts are heavy with the news of the recent passing of Chuck Russell, former CEO of Visa. Chuck was a man of character and integrity, who put the long term interests of the association and its constiuents ahead of his own. Chuck had the gifted soft touch of leadership -- firm but poignant direction and wisdom that only comes with experience. He was a man led by common sense and never relenquished his vision of the great things that could be accomplished if those closest to the customer, the problem or the opportunity were sufficiently empowered. Our sincere condolences go out to his family. He will be remembered always.
