Congratulations From The People Behind The Produc$!

Excelling. Leading. Going beyond the usual to achieve excellence!

Leadership is not easy. It requires tough determination, diligence and single,mindednes of purpoe no matter what detractors may say. [t relies on hindsight, insight, foresight, and a sixth sense of what is right. It comes from experience firmly seated in a willingnes to leam, a curioity to explore and an anticipation of what can be. It's more than wo*ing hard... it's working smaft. Leadership is all these things ouopp.d in a commit. ment to accept nothing but the very best effon that can be made.

CSI is very pleased to congratulate allwho comprise this year's list of America's'Top 25" leading
