Dr. Rev. Joyce Aryee, a member of the Board of the CEO Vision, admonished that, as individuals, our visions must always be greater than ourselves because if that is not the case we don’t have a vision.”
According to her, “whatever vision we have must capture the future of our nation, of our continent and of humanity and if it doesn’t then it is a very small vision”.
“We are here tonight because almost all of us have stepped from our comfort zones and indeed have turned our lemons into lemonade, we have done this whiles others have lamented, complained and perhaps gone to sleep,” she said.
Touching on the theme: ‘Harnessing Visionaries to Pitch Ghana to the World’, she indicated, “Our sleepless nights, our efforts, our hard work have birthed great rewards and are going to be rewarded.”
She, therefore, charged the honorees to hold younger people by the hand, let them become better than themselves so that they can come back here in 10 years, 20 years to see those they have mentored because this is the surest way to accelerate the development of our dear nation in every area of endeavour.”
