Belcher Came Prepared

Belcher is at a unique juncture, as his tenure with Banta Corp. winds down toward an April 2004 retirement date. Stephanie Streeter has assumed the role of both president and CEO, and Belcher will remain with the company as the chairman of the board for the next 18 months.

The transition process has been underway for two years, and Belcher is excited to have the opportunity to watch Streeter put her own mark of leadership on the company. "She is a terrific choice for our future," Belcher says. "The major role I can play now is one of counsel, continuity and support to both her and our senior management team—to be on call for them in any capacity where I can bring value.
