All three are now listed as Alumni of Ten Leaders. The judicial appointments “certainly reflect the competence and integrity of the professionals inducted into Ten Leaders every year,” said Kahl, who is responsible for providing Ten Leaders profiles and related materials to the cooperative’s active members.
