“in his Inaugural Address to the Nation in 2001, President George W.

It is a distinct honor to recognize my friend, Secretary of State Max Maxfield, for his lifetime of service as a dedicated public servant. I invite my colleagues to celebrate his contributions as he steps down after sharing over 47 years of experience with the people of Wyoming. In America, we demand a great deal from our leaders. We expect that they will be wise, altruistic, and that they will carry the hearts of the people with them in all they do. Max has done all of this--and more. He has dedicated his career to helping others and furthering his vision for the success of Wyoming. In doing so, our State has thrived. Max's career as a public servant is long and distinguished.
