On behalf of Jerry Miller, NCIA, our employees and our clients, I want to thank you for your participation in our 30th Anniversary celebration. There were many people involved in planning and organizing an event of this type, and I thank all who participated. I particularly want to thank our planning committee and all the volunteers who gave of their time to make this event a success.

We would also like to thank our donors, sponsors and friends of NCIA for their generous contributions. Because of you, we will have raised over $100,000 which will go toward our public advocacy and program support.

A special thank you goes to the Lawrence P. Castellani Family Foundation, our Gold Benefactor for the evening.

Most of all, I want to thank everyone who attended. It is a tribute to Jerry and the work he has accomplished in his career, his unabashed advocacy for those who have no voice, his mentoring of employees and colleagues, and his never-ending example to all of us.
