Chairman and CEO of 3M, Inge Thulin, To Be Added To Merck's Board March 1 -- Total Now 14...


I'm a little tardy in putting this one up -- but it is not effective until March 1, so no harm, in truth.

And I've been unable to find the source of that lighthouse quote. . . so I'll keep searching. That's what I do -- I keep on; I never give up. . . Smile. From the Friday SEC filing then:

. . . .Merck. . . announced that Inge Thulin, chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of 3M, will join the company’s board of directors effective March 1, 2018. Mr. Thulin will stand for election with the company’s other directors in connection with Merck’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 22, 2018. With the addition of Mr. Thulin, the Merck board will include 14 members.

“We are pleased to add Mr. Thulin to the Merck board and look forward to benefiting from his extensive experience as a global leader of an innovative and science-based company,” said Kenneth C. Frazier, chairman and chief executive officer, Merck.

Mr. Thulin is chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of 3M, a company that applies science in collaborative ways to improve lives and create solutions to global problems. 3M has also been widely recognized for its commitment to sustainability and diversity. Mr. Thulin began his career with 3M in Europe in 1979 and since then has assumed several key roles of increasing responsibility, most recently serving as chief operating officer prior to his current role.

Mr. Thulin earned degrees in economics and marketing from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. He is a National Committee on U.S.-China Relations Honoree, has received the Peter G. Peterson Business Statesmanship Award from the Committee for Economic Development, the Lucia Trade Award from the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce and the Hendrickson Medal for Ethical Leadership. . . .


Now you know -- nice dinner out, and then comedy club tonight, then collegiate hoops by road trip early tomorrow. Smile. Be excellent -- to all those you truly love.

As a follow-up to my previous mention and maybe now closer to your home:

Yes -- I did see this. Awful.

If this doesn't "ring the bell" as state sponsoring religion, I don't know what does. [How did non-denominational science get so suddenly put so far -- to the back of the bus?]

I expect the US Supreme Court will eventually so hold. But the wait will be agonizing.

And all the while, in the mean time, 45 is encouraging doctors and other providers to impose their views of "morality" upon patients. . . rather than treating their medical conditions, as presented.

These are dark times, the Raven would agree.

Thank you for this, and yet it like the SOTUA, tonight is. . . depressing.

Namaste. . . .
