Brian Marshall, a guest of Terry Edwards; Pam Ford, a guest of Paul Bell; Burcu Turan, a guest of Hugh Mose; and George Trudeau, a guest of Roger Fetter.
50/50: The 6 of clubs was drawn, good news for the rest of us. There are 45 cards left.

Previous Week's Speaker: Bennett Hoffman on Management Development

Bennet Hoffman spoke to the club from a list of 21 items. Chief among these was having a presentation tailored to the audience. He mentioned that we should be careful not to use persons with Ph.D.s but people that have practical knowledge of group dynamics. In this idea would be group process and group development theory. (I'd give his email but he hasn't returned emails to follow up).
I often hear ads for Teamworks doing something at Tussey Mountain regarding team building.
