Meanwhile, outgoing ANTA President Cynthia D. Macose, concluded her term by quoting Coca Cola CEO Bryan Dayson’s speech, “life is like juggling five balls: work is a resilient rubber ball, while family, health, friends, and spirit are delicate glass balls. Dropping work may have minimal consequences, but dropping any of the other four can cause irreversible damage.” She also reiterated, “An individual can make a difference, but in unity, we can make a difference.”
