I'm Fred Knight.

00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:04.687 position:50% align:middle
I'm general counsel with the Arkansas
State Board of Nursing.

00:00:04.687 --> 00:00:09.617 position:50% align:middle
I've been in this position
for 22 years and 2 months.

00:00:09.752 --> 00:00:13.150 position:50% align:middle
The award is extremely humbling.

00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:18.690 position:50% align:middle
I never have done anything
in my entire life for an award.

00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:24.550 position:50% align:middle
I don't think in terms of awards or
recognitions, and so,

00:00:24.550 --> 00:00:27.250 position:50% align:middle
I think the number one word,
I was shocked, first of all,

00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:29.549 position:50% align:middle
when I found out.
I was truly shocked.

00:00:29.739 --> 00:00:32.100 position:50% align:middle
And I was very humbled.

00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:34.790 position:50% align:middle
I thought there were others,
and I still think that,

00:00:34.790 --> 00:00:36.590 position:50% align:middle
they were probably more deserving.

00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:42.270 position:50% align:middle
I know so many people that volunteer their
time and energies, and their intellect

00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:43.336 position:50% align:middle
for national counsel.

00:00:43.336 --> 00:00:47.970 position:50% align:middle
They put in hundreds and hundreds
of hours, if not thousands of hours,

00:00:47.970 --> 00:00:52.550 position:50% align:middle
over the years, but I still am
so moved by it.

00:00:52.814 --> 00:00:56.660 position:50% align:middle
My staff would tell you that they don't
think of me as somebody that's

00:00:56.660 --> 00:01:01.220 position:50% align:middle
ever humbled, but I can assure you this
has been, probably, one of the most

00:01:01.220 --> 00:01:04.833 position:50% align:middle
humbling experiences of my life,
and it is such an honor.

00:01:04.833 --> 00:01:07.126 position:50% align:middle
I will always remember this.
