W. Mitchell - Introduction

The supplied introduction has been tested again and again with effective results. Unless the individual introducing Mitchell is personally acquainted with him, we would appreciate your using it as written:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In W Mitchell's race for congress, his slogan was, "Oh Yes he can!" This internationally recognized expert on change likes just to be called Mitchell--and those who have watched and listened to him know that he can!

 

Born near Philadelphia, the former marine once drove a San Francisco cable car and co-founded a metal castings company putting thousands to work. In Crested Butte, Colorado, he earned the worldwide recognition as "the mayor who saved a mountain."

 

Mitchell is an author as well as a commercial pilot and a white water rafter -- you could say he's done it all! Mitchell started his radio career in Hawaii. Today, the Public Television host has been inducted into the Speakers Hall of Fame and is the recipient of the podiums highest award: the C.P.A.E (Council of Peers Award for Excellence). He shares his powerful message about taking responsibility for change with audiences around the globe. His life is an example of the title of his latest book: It's Not What Happens to You, It's what You do About It.

 

Please help me welcome this remarkable man, W Mitchell...
