With my friends from our Innovate to Motivate 2004 Conference, l to r: Renee Walker, Manager, Kelly Services, Inc.; Mary Schell, Vice President, Government Relations, Wendy's International; Jennifer Goodrum, Regulatory Affairs Coordinator, International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists; Kaye Grospitch, Government Liaison Officer, Cleveland State University, and me.
Some government affairs professionals are more dedicated than others. Linda Melusky, Government Relations Representative, Capital Blue Cross, attended every conference workshop in spite of an ankle fractured in five places! Plus she demonstrated a positive attitude in spite of it all.
Graham Dodson, Director of Corporate Communications, American Electric Power, and Mary Schell, Vice President of Government Relations, Wendy's International, Inc., determine the best ways to measure PAC and grassroots progress during Amy and Peter's "Counting Isn't Enough" workshop.
Susan Goodman, Director, Legislative Awareness, Southwest Airlines and Lori Joubert, Specialist, Legislative Awareness, Southwest Airlines. Susan conducted a workshop on "high-touch" grassroots.
One of Innovate to Motivate's highest rated speakers is Greg Coker, Director of Government Affairs at BellSouth Corporation. Here he takes a breather during his "Achieving Peak Communications" workshop.
Another highly-rated Innovate to Motivate faculty member is Kelton Rhoads, PhD. Here Kelton teaches the use and misuse of propaganda in influence campaigns.
Susan Goodman, Director of Legislative Awareness, Southwest Airlines (l) and Tiffany Adams, Vice President, Public Affairs, National Association of Manufacturers (r), connect after Tiffany's workshop on how to increase productivity through efficient volunteer utilization.
One of the hallmarks of Innovate to Motivate is the co-founders and faculty's emphasis on interactive learning exercises. Here, Angie Thies-Huber, Director of Grassroots and Constituent Relations, American Cancer Society, Ohio Division, and Carrie Langdon, Communications Manager, International Paper, completes their exercise.
