“Once Again, Jack Myers Has His Fingers on the Pulse of the Very Latest. Myers Has Clearly Done His Homework, and the Result I “Once again, Jack Myers has his fingers on the pulse of the very latest. Myers has clearly done his homework, and the result is this superb book.” —Ken Burns, documentary filmmaker of The Roosevelts and The Civil War “In his groundbreaking book, Jack Myers challenges the existing role models on whom men base their male identity, opening the door to a new conversation about masculinity. It is a must-read.” —Dr. Jane Greer, author of What About Me? Stop Selfishness from Ruining Your Relationship “Jack Myers is a media visionary, and—once again—he’s asking a big, hairy, and contentious question: What is the future of men? While for many this is still a man’s world, Myers shines a light of skepticism on this notion and points us to a much different future. How will gender equality—or a shift in balance—change the landscape? The Future of Men’s answers will surprise and delight you.” —Mitch Joel, author of Six Pixels of Separation “‘Girls rule! Girls rock! You go, Girl!’ Great, if you’re a girl, but where does that leave the boys? Jack Myers’s book The Future of Men should be required reading for every parent rearing sons.” —Contessa Brewer, anchor and correspondent for NBC and MSNBC “Jack Myers envisions a better day when masculine strength is defined by empathy and sensitivity instead of the macho, often sexist, attitudes and behaviors of the past.” —Keith Reinhard, chairman emeritus of DDB Worldwide Communications Group “Jack Myers has proven over and over again that he has an eye for the trends that drive our culture and our industry. Now Jack, a Mad Men admirer from the start, tackles head-on the future of (all) men.” —Charlie Collier, president of AMC and SundanceTV “I’ve studied boomers and the age wave for the past three decades; however, I also recognize the need to focus on younger generations, especially on the changing dynamics of gender relationships. In The Future of Men, Jack Myers confronts changing realities in society, cul- ture, business, and more.” —Ken Dychtwald, PhD, author of A New Purpose: Redefining Money, Work, Retirement, and Success “Jack Myers has done it again. This time he delves deeply into the cur- rent and future status of masculinity and what it will mean to ‘be a man’ in the decades ahead. The current fundamental recasting of gen- der roles is one of the most profound dynamics in the world today.” —David Houle, futurist, EvolutionShift.com “Learn what it takes to be a real man. Whether you eat quiche or not, this book is a must-read!” —Jeffrey Hayzlett, TV and radio host, speaker, author, and chairman of C-Suite Network “It’s no secret that gender roles are blurring, but discussion on the future of this evolutionary change has been minimal. The Future of Men is the guide we’ve needed to walk us through this shift from the macho man to the modern man.” —Sydney N. Fulkerson, author of The Coffee Run: And Other Internship Need-to-Knows “From a world that worships the image rather than the reality, Myers tells us to ignore the images that have defined men in the past and instead embrace our sensitivity and become more empathetic. He’s got to be good to pull this off! He is.” —Larry Kramer, former president and publisher of USA Today “For years, in my work advising consumer marketers and the agen- cies that support them, I have looked to Jack Myers for insights on the media ecology and the consuming culture that feeds it. He has a way of packaging his cultural insights to directly assist the reader in business and in life at large.” —Kendall Allen, principal of Influence Collective OTHER BOOKS BY JACK MYERS Adbashing: Surviving the Attacks on Advertising, American Media Council, 1993 Reconnecting with Customers: Building Brands and Profits in The Relationship Age, Spurge Ink! / Knowledge Exchange, 1998 Virtual Worlds: Rewiring Your Emotional Connections, Myers Publishing LLC, 2007 Hooked Up: A New Generation’s Surprising Take on Sex, Politics and Saving the World, York House Press, 2012 INKSHARES INKSHARES Globally, and especially in Western cultures, we are in the midst of what may prove to be the greatest societal transformation in the history of humanity: the transformation from male to female dominance.

  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.

    NEWS Western Legislative Academy Western Legislative Academy From Campaigning to Governing at WLA 2010 Why is governing so much harder than campaigning? According to Western Legislative Academy faculty member Phil Boyle, it’s because you can campaign on single-value solutions to problems. But in the real world of public decision making, single-value solutions are rare. Once elected, legislators face complicated problems with as many as four core values that must be considered and integrated. • Community is the “we” value that places the good of the whole at the center of policy decisions. • Liberty is the “me” or individual dimension that says personal freedoms and responsibilities Graduation night at WLA 2010 matter most in any solution. • Prosperity is the value that says policies must be market- training was the half-day spent at the U.S. Air Force Academy based to maximize economic gain and standard of living. engaged in personal style assessments and team building. • Equality places fairness, justice and tolerance at the Each year in a highly competitive process, the Western forefront of public policy.
