Bank CEO gets a standing ovation – what a contrast…

While in Los Angeles during May of this year I had the opportunity to hear Dr. Muhammad Yunus speak, visionary founder of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, and winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.  He is probably the only bank CEO in the world right now that could get a standing ovation from 7,000 people in the audience after an incredible speech.  What a contrast given our banking culture in the United States during the past year or so.  You can check out more info on Dr. Yunus and his foundation – Grameen Foundation at www.grameenfoundation.org.
