FLASHPOINT ACADEMY HOSTS HUGE EVENT FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL LISA MADIGAN & FIRST SCREENING OF NEW FILM PRODUCED BY FLASHPOINT ABOUT LISA'S FIRST 10 YRS
HAT COMMENTS INTRODUCING LISA MADIGAN FILM
I want to welcome all of you to this exciting night for Lisa and for Flashpoint. We built Flashpoint to be the most visually exciting, creative and collaborative digital environment in the United States and, as you’ll see as you walk around later, we think, by virtue of a lot of hard work and attention to detail, and very little sleep, that we have succeeded beyond even our wildest imaginations. So we’re very proud to have all of you with us here tonight.
But what really struck me as we interviewed many of you sitting in this room and assembled the film that you are about to see for the first time tonight is that this same story is also Lisa’s story:
She’s creative in her approaches and imaginative in her problem-solving
She’s collaborative in everything she does – no one else I know gets along with virtually everyone – and I’ve never found a person to say a nasty word about her
She’s attentive to the largest and the smallest concerns of every constituency that she serves - of which there are many.
And, last but not least, she’s someone who is fun to be around, but also serious and supportive and THERE when you need her.
She has been a great colleague and there for us at every school and each time we’ve needed her assistance. I couldn’t be prouder to call her my friend as well.
So, for many of us, this film has been a labor of love and a chance to give back to Lisa a little bit of what she has so generously given to all of us over the last 10 years.
We hope you like it.
