    A NNUAL R EPORT 2003 Americas Society Americas Council of the Americas Council Dear Friends: I am delighted to report that the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society took unprecedented steps in 2003 to renew and reinvigorate our commitment to our mission and our members. Last August, Susan Segal was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Susan had been a member of the Board of Directors for eight years when I charged her with the task of chairing a Strategic Planning Committee. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed by our Board. Thus, it made sense to appoint her to implement it. At a time of profound change in the Americas, Susan has the energy and the vision to assure that the organization continues to play a leading role in affecting the central concerns of the region. Since the latter half of 2003, we have taken significant steps to execute our new strategic plan. Our first priority was to assemble a first-class senior management team open to new ideas and committed to an efficiently run organization capable of top-tier execution. Under this team’s leadership, the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society have made significant strides in accomplishing our mission of being the preeminent U.S.-based not-for-profit organization solely committed to addressing current foreign policy, trade, economic, political, and cultural issues of the Western Hemisphere. We are very excited about our direction and remain steadfast in our desire to exercise significant influence on hemispheric policy on behalf of our members and in support of our core values, which include democracy, the rule of law, and free trade.

Obviously, these items would be a good gift idea for any occasion year-round, as well as a gift for yourself! We do not include many, if any at all, single CDs in the guide. Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.
