20 Institutional Governance and the Trustees of <strong>Anatolia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
anatolia consists, namely its staff, faculty, students, parents, and alumni.<br />
We are living in a time when Greece as a whole is fighting for economic<br />
survival. this situation is directly related to the fact that the majority of the<br />
most important institutions in our country, both public and private, profitbased<br />
and non-for-profit alike, as well as their governing bodies, have either<br />
failed to live up to their missions or failed to realize what their missions<br />
were in the first place. a significant number of our institutions have been<br />
unsuccessful in their attempts to improve and develop their sphere of operations<br />
and the quality of their leadership. the instances of failed leadership<br />
are visible everywhere. In our ports and in our hospitals. In our<br />
museums and our athletic teams. In our universities and our railroads.<br />
our country will not be able to recover and regain its potential if these<br />
institutions and organizations, as well as the people responsible for their<br />
mission and performance, do not take a good hard look in the mirror – and<br />
if they are unable to realize what exactly it is that they are doing and how<br />
they are doing it. and if, having reached a point of self-awareness, they fail<br />
to assume responsibility for the painful process of reformulating their mission,<br />
renewing their leadership, and raising the level at which they function<br />
in society.<br />
In conclusion, I would like to congratulate anatolia and the author, not<br />
only as an alumnus, but in my capacity as Mayor of thessaloniki, for taking<br />
on the fruitful endeavor of analyzing matters of governance and mission.<br />
this step lays the necessary groundwork for anatolia to continue to be one<br />
of the most successful educational institutions in thessaloniki. even more<br />
importantly, however, I congratulate anatolia for setting the best possible<br />
example for all of the institutions and organizations in thessaloniki, institutions<br />
and organizations which will determine the future of our city.
