Caldwell compiled a preliminary list of candidates from more than 1,400 nominations. The panel then rated the finalists on six criteria: vision and leadership, innovation and achievement, community involvement, impact and strategy for growth.

Report Project. He attended college at Harvard University and
then attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. His research
interests include performance measurement, cost-effectiveness analysis,
