Maybe he'll be able to put some sense into your president's head. Man, what a nightmare he's created for thousands of people, not to mention air companies all over the world, specially now during the Pan games.

He's staying put. It's just an advisory board, like a board of trustees. He's going to keep his job and add this role to his title.

Good for him! :sohappy:

I think he's a good fit for the board. He just came from overseas in Paris and is now in the U.S. He's seen it from both perspectives and I think he will bring a lot to the board.

This sounds like an excellent thing for both the tourism industry as a whole and Disney in general. I wonder who else is on this board?
