The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.

I entered politics from a completely different background from other people in this field, and that has helped me to see and deal with things differently.

I always concentrated on doing the very best that I could in the job and the duties that I was assigned.

I also served on many government committees.

My work at R.E.I. was incredibly fulfilling and rewarding, especially the stewardship elements of it, the ability to connect young people to public lands close to home.

I became an academic so that I could share my knowledge and experience with students.

Between being governor and part of the Senate, one of the things I did was I held a chair at the business school at my alma mater, Indiana University. And I'd go to lecture the graduates, and I loved that, answering their questions. It was real; it was tangible, and it was making a difference every day.

I'm going to continue doing my thing and work my butt off to add value for shareholders and as long as they and the board see fit to keep me in this role, I feel enormously privileged to serve.

Sitting on a corporate board is a hobby for me.

I am excited to join the Workday Board at an exciting time in the company's growth and look forward to leveraging my past experience as a technologist and entrepreneur to provide advice as they continue to look at new areas of growth.
