CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Keynote Presenter:Derek Redmond

Sponsored in part by Hahn & Hessen LLP

TMA welcomes former British Olympian Derek Redmond to the host city of the 1996 Olympics for an inspiring keynote. As one of Britain’s greatest Olympians, Redmond brings a unique perspective to what it takes to set goals, overcome obstacles and succeed.

While earning gold medals at World, European and Commonwealth levels, Redmond also saw more than his fair

share of bad luck and heartache, most famously during the Barcelona 1992 Olympics when his hamstring snapped during the 400m semi-finals. A medal favorite, Redmond struggled to his feet and, along with his father, hobbled the remaining 250 meters in a scene that has become one of the most enduring in modern Olympic history. The inspirational footage has been seen around the world and has become synonymous with the ideals of good sportsmanship and determination.

Keynote Lunch: Gregory Miller, Chief Economist, SunTrust BankCo-sponsored by Cooley LLP and Rust Omni

A practicing economist, forecaster, and college teacher for more than 30 years, Gregory Miller shares his expertise on forecasting the national economy and interest rates, as well as corporate investments, benefit policy, regulations, and mergers and acquisitions. Miller also provides insight from his role as past chairman of the Economic Advisory Committee of the American Banks Association, a national group of economists who meet with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors to discuss the economy and monetary policy. Session is moderated by Thomas J. Allison, CTP, Mesirow Financial Consulting LLC.

Chapter and Individual AwardsThe red carpet rolls out during the Keynote Lunch as the Chapter of the Year, International Chapter of the Year, Most Improved Chapter of the Year and Outstanding Individual Contribution Awards are presented.
