Featured Speakers in Charlotte
by Sarah Brachman, Manager of Communications, IECA
As we head into the final two weeks before our Fall Conference in Charlotte, NC, we wanted to highlight our featured speakers.
Wednesday’s General Session Keynote speaker (1:00 p.m.) is Daniel Pink, author of several books, including “A Whole New Mind,” about the changing world of work, and the six abilities individuals and organizations must master in an outsourced, automated world. A free agent himself, Mr. Pink held his last ‘real’ job in the White House, where he served as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore. He also worked as an aide to U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich, and in other positions in politics and government. (for school, college, and LD representatives, and all educational consultants)
Thursday’s Lunch Keynote speaker (12:00 p.m.) is Nido Qubein, president of High Point University. Dr. Qubein has authored numerous books on leadership, sales, communication, and achievement. The Qubein Foundation has awarded more than $3 million to over 600 students and scholarship endowments at several universities. He is also a business leader, serving as chairman of Great Harvest Bread Company and also serves on the corporate boards of BB&T bank and La-Z-Boy Corporation. (for school, college, and LD representatives, and all educational consultants)
Saturday features a Master Class (9:30 a.m.) by Jeffrey Georgi, clinical director of the Duke University Addictions Program and Intervention Program, and author of “The Adolescent Brain.” Although primarily known for his work in the field of addictions with adolescents, adults, and families, Mr. Georgi is also a national trainer. We invited Georgi back to speak at our Charlotte conference after the positive feedback from his keynote presentation and breakout session at our San Francisco conference. (for therapeutic and emotional growth schools and programs, and all educational consultants)
In addition to these top-notch speakers, the conference will include an abundance of educational and networking opportunities through pre-conference programs, breakout sessions, speed meetings, and all of the activities in Conference Central: the vendor exhibit hall, networking cyber-lounge, bookstore, and one-on-one help with your social networking presence. We look forward to seeing you there!
