with our own values of putting people first.”
Scott Dahnke, Board Chair, joined Ms. Alber in welcoming
Huffington to the Board. “We are thrilled to announce the addition

debating society, the Cambridge Union. Huffington’s last two books,
Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life
