Congratulations are in order for Dr. Tim Fitzpatrick on the successful defense of his dissertation! Certainly, one of best trips to a learning organization is to invite passionate, hard-working people and professionals to the party and have them share stories of collaboration, care, equal respect, mutuality, common reachable goals, and reflection.
