CONFERENCE PROGRAMS

What in the Management is Going On? A wheel needs spokes for optimum strength, performance and safety. Today’s public works leaders need to assess their “management spokes” to keep their organizational wheels in great shape. This session will explore the tools needed in today’s economic and business climate to strategically move your public works organization forward.

Sssshhh…Can’t You Hear the Whistle Blowing?

The Federal Railroad Administration’s final ruling on “Use of Locomotive Horns at Grade Crossing” will take effect on June 24, 2005. This presentation will discuss the provisions of the final ruling and how it could impact the quality of life in your city or town.

Strategic Planning in Program Management

What are the benefits of having a strategic and/or business plan as it relates to program management? This session will present strategic and business plans being used in a variety of communities, how they were developed, and how they are being implemented and measured. A facilitated multi-party strategic planning program that is creating positive results for the NCDOT, the FHA and others will, also, be discussed.

The Dell Experience State and local officials discuss the extraordinary recruitment efforts to bring the Dell project to the triad region. This session will include state and local perspectives on the challenges, impacts and benefits of the largest economic development project in North Carolina history. PDH CREDIT = 1 HOUR

Those were the Days – Generations at Work Slacker! Disrespectful! Immature! Clueless! Sound familiar? Are these things you’ve thought about your co-workers? The generation gap goes far beyond the typical clashes with your parents, it has transcended the boundary of home and is alive and well in the workplace. This presentation will describe and explore generational differences and how to properly manage across generational boundaries.

PDH CREDIT = 2 HOURS PDH CREDIT = 1 HOUR
