on receiving the
HENRY MANCINI AWARD
and toasts all of this year’s honorees
Sixteen countries. Three continents. Nine time zones.
I’ve seen the world with these guys and have the phone bill
to prove it. But I don’t do this for stamps in my passport.
Every time they take a new stage in a sold out stadium, I’m
making sure everything back home is just the way they left it. And
SunTrust’s Sports and Entertainment Specialty Group is providing
me solutions tailored for my industry to make it happen.
