I can think of no one more deserving of the Bryce Harlow Foundation’s Business-Government Relations Award than Connie Tipton. If success is measured by the length of the road traveled—Connie has traveled further and accomplished more than about anyone I know. And the road she traveled has truly been a “road less traveled.” Being a woman who rose to the top in the agriculture and food industry over the last 35 years –an industry traditionally dominated by men—is truly a tremendous accomplishment. But more importantly, Connie achieved this success the right way—full of class, integrity, humor and always helping to promote others in their careers. I can’t think of a more deserving recipient and one that exemplifies the values of the Bryce Harlow Foundation than Connie. I especially look forward to attending this years’ event.
