5 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Lessons from Katrina: Leadership and Preparedness in the 21st Century In this rousing speech, Gen. Honoré shares leadership lessons from his command of Joint Task Force-Katrina as well as the benefits of developing a culture of preparedness. The Category V General discusses the essential qualities that 21st century leaders need, including decision superiority, the ability to see first, understand first, and act first. On preparedness, Gen. Honoré believes waiting until disaster hits and then responding is dealing with problems on the right side of disaster, and that we should be dealing with the left side of disaster -- before it strikes. Bold and insightful, Honoré s strategies are sure to motivate audiences to see local, national, and international leadership issues in a new light. Lt. General Russel L. Honoré (Ret.), Commander of Joint Task Force Katrina and Global Preparedness Authority On the Edge: The Art of High-Impact Leadership Imagine yourself on the highest mountain in the world. You have to deal with the physiological effects of extreme altitude -- along with bone-chilling temperatures, battering winds, and a climbing team that s counting on all of its members to make smart decisions. There s simply no room for poor judgment -- one mistake or misstep can result in an unrecoverable error. Drawing on her experience as team captain of the first American Women s Everest Expedition, Alison Levine makes a compelling case that the leadership principles that apply in the world of extreme adventure also apply to today s rigorously competitive business environments. SPONSORED BY: FHI Allison Levine, Team Captain of the First American Women s Everest Expedition Best Practices in Fresh Supply Chain Transporting temperature sensitive cargo, especially fresh foods, adds an additional degree of complexity, urgency and responsibility for supply chains.

Learn about some of the best practices in shipping fresh to traditional supermarkets, convenience, drug and club stores, and beyond. C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc.
