EXCERPT: “Tom Meeker is back from Haiti, where he aided a New York-based surgical team on a humanitarian mission. He called me to make a point:

“The racing community should be very proud of Earle Mack.”

Mack is the prominent horse owner, developer, philanthropist and former ambassador to Finland who not only got Meeker’s team into Haiti but out of the devastated country as well this past Friday — all 17 of the crew, plus the 1,500 pounds of equipment they had brought with them.

Meeker, the retired president of Churchill Downs Inc., said the ISMS team is just one of a myriad of Haiti rescue missions Mack has assisted.

“He’s on the phone day and night,” he said. “My job with this team was to sort of coordinate the logistics, working there to get patients out to the Comfort (naval medical ship) who needed advanced medical care. Just doing anything and everything. But one of the days I went down to the airport, from one end to the other, and they had United Nations, USA, State Department, Army, U.S. Air Force, Canadians, a myriad of different people spread out….”

EXCERPT: “As Thoroughbred owner/breeder Earle I. Mack saw and read reports about the difficulty of the relief efforts in Haiti following the devastating earthquake that killed an estimated 200,000 people, he felt a call to action.

He knew that getting supplies and medical personnel into the country, and then immediately dispersing them to where they were needed was nearly impossible considering the devastation throughout the country. What was most noticeable to Mack was the inability for much progress to be made, considering transportation routes were impacted by the quake’s damage and most of the hospitals serving the major city of Port-au-Prince were severely damaged…”

Board News from Cardoza Life

EXCERPT: “…Former Cardozo Board Chairman Earle I. Mack has been appointed Ambassador to Finland by President George W. Bush.

He was sworn in as Ambassador on May 28, and presented his credentials to the President of Finland, Tarja Halonen, on June 10, 2004.

Mr. Mack is the third former Cardozo Board member to hold the rank of Ambassador. Cardozo’s first chairman, Morris Abram, was Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva under President George H.W. Bush and Eric M. Javits is US Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament, a position he has held for several years.

When Mr. Mack passed the gavel to new Board Chair Kathy Greenberg, he ended a stellar tenure that covered more than 20 years as a Board member, 12 of them as chair. Mr. Mack said, “This does not mark the end of my love for this great school.”

Ambassador Mack was elected to the Cardozo Board in 1980 and was voted chair in 1992, a position he held until his appointment as Ambassador. Among his many achievements as chairman, he indicated he was most proud of “the election for the first time of a chair from the ranks of the Cardozo alumni.” Ambassador Mack oversaw the renovation of 55 Fifth, assisted with scholarships, and provided funds for numerous projects and events at Cardozo from the redesign of the Web site to bringing King Juan Carlos of Spain to the Law School.
