“As a former member of the Amtrak board and Governor of Delaware, I personally understand the important role that board members play in leading the corporation and I want to thank my colleague for recognizing the special skills that governors bring to such a position. The board's strong leadership establishes a clear direction for the corporation and provides proper oversight and accountability. Without this clear direction, investors and customers can quickly lose confidence in the company and its ability to preform and grow. The current board of management has done an excellent job of maintaining a solid and predictable course through particularly uneasy times.”
