We view this as a job of service, we’ve all had wonderfully successful careers beyond our wildest dreams at a firm we love, we’re kind of lifetime V&E-ers. So we look at where we stand today and say ‘this is a real opportunity to give back to the firm and help our partners take their practices and the firm as a whole to the next level.’
