04 LETTER FROM DENNIS MUILENBURG BOEING CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT AND CEO We are the founders of our future As Boeing begins its second century, it’s our turn to look ahead and make our mark Boeing, Douglas, Kindelberger, McDonnell. We know these names and many others because of the incredible legacy left by our heritage founders. With rugged determination and a passion for the new science of flight, these pioneers couldn’t fully imagine what the future held for the company—and the industry—they would help build. Throughout the past 100 years, Boeing has connected and protected people and nations, explored our world and the vastness of space, and inspired dreamers and doers alike through our products and services, our innovation, and the skill and talent of generations of employees. We took the world from seaplanes to space planes, across new frontiers and beyond. Few companies have achieved as much. Today, at the start of our second century, it’s our turn to imagine what comes next and bring it to life. In another 100 years, we might make daily trips to space, fly across the globe in less than an hour or receive unlimited clean power from solar satellites. Our potential for achievement is as great as it was for our founders, and our goals must be just as bold, visionary and inspiring. We will be the aerospace leader and an enduring global industrial champion only by continuing to ask as much of ourselves as they asked of themselves. Together, we are the founders of our future. Each of us is a humble steward of a great legacy, and each of us has the potential to build on that legacy and make a positive, lasting impact on our second century, especially when we work together as a “One Boeing” team, with the utmost integrity and excellence. I give sincere thanks to our past and present employees, customers, communities and everyone who is a part of—or an enthusiast of—Boeing and aerospace. We could not have reached our centennial without you, and you are the reason we will succeed in our next 100 years. Boeing’s legacy—and its incredibly bright future—belongs to all of us. •
