From HBS Dean Kim B. Clark:
The mission of the Harvard Business School is to educate leaders who make a difference in the world. More than 65,000 HBS graduates strive to make these works a reality in a wide array of organizations that affect the lives of millions of people around the globe.
Since 1968, with the help of suggestions from alumni, students, faculty, and friends, the School has selected a number of outstanding men and women to receive its most important honor, the Alumni Achievement Award. Throughout their careers, these distinguished graduates have contributed significantly to their companies and communities, while upholding the highest standards and values in everything they do. As such, they represent the best in our alumni body. Exemplary role models, they inspire all those who aspire to have an impact on both business and society.
Along with this fall's reunion classes, current students, and other members of the HBS community, I welcome back to Soldiers Field the 2003 Alumni Achievement Award recipients and extend to them our congratulations and thanks for fulfilling the hopes and ideals of the School. We are delighted to celebrate them and their accomplishments on this special occasion.
The executives honored by Harvard Business School as winners of the 2003 Awards for Alumni Achievement are a diverse lot. James Burke engineered Johnson & Johnson's response to the Tylenol tampering scare. Lillian Lincoln Lambert was the first African-American woman to graduate from HBS and founded Centennial One. Charles O. Rossotti reformed the Internal Revenue Service. Daniel L. Vasella, M.D., runs Novartis, the sixth-largest pharmaceutical company in the world. And Howard Cox, Charles White, Henry McCance, Daniel Gregory, and William Effers developed venerable VC firm Greylock.
