FINAL [text as prepared] Elizabeth Dole Board of Governors Hall  January 4, 1999

And, with hard work and fresh thinking, we rescued our services to the Armed Forces, using the latest technology to find more efficient ways to deliver them and saving millions of dollars in the process. For the first time in our history, we rechartered all our chapters based on the highest standards and we employed new technology to update and consolidate our financial management. We have never been in better financial health than we are now, with 1998 being the best year ever. GOODBYE TO THE RED CROSS - Read the whole text.

Excerpts From Elizabeth's Speech

CHARLOTTE, N.C., January 13, 1998 -- As a longtime public  servant, a Cabinet officer in two administrations and head of the American Red Cross, Elizabeth Dole has observed many changes in America. On the positive side, there are now many more opportunities for women and minorities. But at the same time, she  feels there has been a deterioration of values and believes strongly in the need for more "individual and national character”.

Transcript from appearance at The Kennedy School of
 Government - Harvard University June 3, 1998

"It is little wonder that the public has lost faith in government. As Joe so often reminds us. And in it's leaders. Elizabeth Hanford Dole has refused to be labeled. She fits no niche and continues to defy convention. At a time when it's become politically correct to poke fun at those who work for government, to demean the work that they do, Mrs. Dole remains unabashed and an eloquent promoter of the concept of government service and of the contributions that public servants can make." Sheila Burke

Erskine College

Then came success—followed closely by discouragement. “Around mid-October Mrs. Dole's scheduler called my dormitory room to let me know that Mrs. Dole wished to speak at Erskine,” Mitchell said. “This was very exciting. The only problem was that she only had time available on Saturday of commencement weekend, and Erskine's commencement has traditionally been held on a Sunday. I was sure that the whole business was dead in the water.”

22 September 1999

Our children will learn again when we resolve to put kids and parents first, and the system, second. Most important, the minds of our children will soar when freedom and accountability guide our decisions, and results rather than process become the coin of the realm in American education.

NRB 98 Concludes with Elizabeth Dole

"The federal government has become too big, too bloated, too complex. People feel their opportunity to help has been squelched." Dole stated that the Founding Fathers knew that "true liberty means not to do what we like for our own pleasure or advancement, but to do what we ought.... They placed a greater value on liberty than security. They sacrificed all that they had so others might live free."

Insight Speakers

"It's not what the government can and can't do but what we should do for each other," Dole said. "You can make a difference. You can grab a shovel. And when you reach the age of my mother, 94 years young, you will be able to ask yourself: What did I stand for? Did I make a positive difference in the lives of others?"
