 Guided by Truth, Integrity, and Principles. That's how Leonard Edward Reid lived his life. Although Reid passed before I was born, his life's work has and will continue to influence many generations long after him. I'm going to tell you a little bit about Reid, and then I will introduce the award. Reid fought in World War I and built a successful grocery business before dedicating his life to the cause that is so near and dear to all of us here in this room tonight. Advancing Freedom. It was during Reid's time as the head of the LA Chamber of Commerce that he was fighting the New Deal policies that established the welfare and administrative state that we all suffer under today. And it was at this time that Reid recognized the need for an organization to develop and advance a positive moral and philosophical case for individual liberty and limited government. This is how Phi was born. The Leonard Reid Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes the unique professional and personal achievements of a Phi alumnus or alumna who has demonstrated exceptional dedication to the cause of liberty. Someone who like Reid lives his life guided by truth, integrity and principles. It's my distinguished honor tonight to present the award together with my fellow alumni board member Gonzalo Schwartz who will now introduce this year's Alumni Award winner. Thank you very much, Romina. It's truly a pleasure to be standing here in front of you tonight and having the distinct honor to recognize one of the luminaries of our freedom movement, a true freedom champion. We're honoring two trendsetters and movement builders in their own right, in Leonard Reid and in Jean-Carlis Baldwin. We just heard about Leonard from Romina, and we're going to tell you some of Jean-Carlis' accomplishment and why he's truly deserving of this award. Like Reid, Jean-Carlis has been a movement builder through his work with different institutions, with UFM in particular, but also with other organizations that he's been associated with in the last few years, like Liberty Fund, the Montpellier Society and API. In all of these endeavors, he has selflessly tried to connect and nurture talented people from all around the world. He started climbing the ladder in the 1990s through different positions until he became president of the university in 2003. I never had the pleasure to personally meet Mr. Manuel Liao, but from what I can tell from other people's stories about him, I believe that he really thought that Jean-Carlo was the true embodiment of everything that Mr. Liao sought in a leader who could continue his legacy at the university. By 2003, when he started, Jean-Carlo was already influencing both the growth and innovation of the university, as well as local policy in Guatemala. Even if, in any of those cases, he wanted to be recognized, he didn't want to be recognized as a true architect of some of the reforms both at the university and at the policy level. Because of the accomplishment, he has been a true trendsetter in the university as one of the main proponents of installing a Wi-Fi system before even U.S. universities had Wi-Fi. He was one of the main architects behind UFM Media, the outstanding online collection of media records that includes content on many of the best stewards and promoters of ideas producing history. He always likes to remark that UFM Media, which is established in 2001, if I'm not mistaken, always came before YouTube as started in 2005. He always likes to make that distinction. He was also one of the main architects of the Antigua Forum, what has been referred to now as an unconference, that brings together reformers, real society, academics and businessmen that interact to produce exciting projects that are then executed back in the participant countries. Other examples of the project he developed at UFM include the Act in Media program, the Startup Cities project, and I think we can go on and on. But these are just some of the examples of Giancarlo's intellectual entrepreneurship and drive that define him in his everyday life. The very few times I'd met Giancarlo, he was always kindhearted and he continues to address any of my emails with the utmost respect and humble demeanor as if we were peers when I still have such a long way to go before I can think myself at the same level. As Larry mentioned in the announcement of the award, Giancarlo is courageous, optimistic, tireless, gracious, kindhearted and a determined individual. I think those are the perfect adjectives to describe Giancarlo. I should all be thankful that we have such a talented and inspiring individual in our movement. Unfortunately, he can't be here with us today, but accepting the award on his behalf is the current President of the University of San Francisco, Mario King Gabriel Calzado. Can you direct your attention to our video of Giancarlo? Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tears to never read. Tears to you. I have received the kindnesses from my wife, my children, my friends, my colleagues throughout the years and this one in particular is of great significance to me. Leonard Reed has been a personal hero for more than 35 years. I first read about Leonard Reed at the Foundation for Economic Education when visiting University of San Francisco, Mario King a.k.a. the University of Fremont-Catino in the late 1970s. I discovered the Fremont-Bagasin. I read it assiduously. I subscribed to it. So it was thanks to UFM, I was then just a high school student. After playing basketball in the afternoons, I would rush to the San Francisco Mario King for two reasons. My girlfriend was there starting today with my wife for happy 32 years and then I wanted to read Mrs. Azul, The Pathless Powers by the Foundation for Economic Education. I'm standing here inside of the library looking for business. Art, the University of San Francisco, Mario King campus. Education, business has been a figure very important to my intellectual endeavors. And it was through me that the founder of the University of San Francisco, Mario King the line developed a key interest in economics. When I left for Guatemala, he left me early on to study electrical engineering. I took the same name. One of the first things I did there was to subscribe again to the free magazine. And I discovered a very small collection of free books eternally. It takes the same name, library, the Temple of Memorial collection, free collection. Nothing to do with the St. John Templeton, but they had a complete set of free magazines. It was wonderful for me. Eventually my girlfriend became my wife and I brought her up to college section to study as well as Texas A&M. And through the free magazine I learned about a seminar that was that he was going to host in Dallas, Texas. So my wife and I dressed up, drove all the way from college section to Dallas, Texas. And there we had a most wonderful weekend full of ideas. We met John C. Sparks, who at the time was a trustee of fear. Of course, John was charmed by my beautiful wife and I was charmed by the beautiful mission of the Foundation for Economic Education. So receiving this award is, as you can see, very emotional. And I cannot explain to you how happy my family and I are for this award. Before saying, as Tel Aviv's friends, I want you to please take a minute to read this quote from Mrs. Cuban Actual. The quote speaks for itself and I think it speaks loudly of the importance of peace, mission. Thank you. I've received this award for deep gratitude. Happy memories. A great affection. Thank you for the bottom of my heart. Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
