Golfer Ernie Els was awarded the 2015 Payne Stewart Award for his charitable contributions outside the game of golf. When the award was given recently in Atlanta, Southern Company CEO Tom Fanning, who’s company sponsors the award, was asked to introduce Els. His remarks were outstanding. Instead of rambling on about Els he came in with a plan and more importantly, a message.

His remarks begin around the 4 minute mark in this video. They only last two minutes and it’s well worth the watch.
