WE NEED TO ACT NOW

- We must move beyond our history of dependence - trade preferences - hand outs - non-productive grant subsidies - Eliminate the annual themes, articulate a vision and create a meaningful, measurable goal - 3X increase in GDP over the next 15 years. - Traditions are important and we have many we should not lose ... - ... but we cannot allow some of these old colonial-era philosophies to weigh us down
