    GUEST SPEAKER

    Cathy Conner, program co-chair, introduced the speaker, Dr. Martha Walker.  Dr. Walker’s topic was “Shaping Your Future: Living the Day.” She challenged the audience with the following question:  “Do we have the capacity to shape our own future or are we linked to existing conditions and influencers?” She stated the four influencers that shape our future are people, information/knowledge/technology, personal energy, and attitudes.  Dr. Walker also shared information from Stephen Covey, author of Principle -Centered Leadership. She discussed principle-centered leader characteristics, essential character traits, and 30 key methods of influence. In closing, she advised the audience to play, laugh, dream and live with your arms wide open.

    Dr. Walker was given the honor of drawing winning numbers for door prizes which had been donated by SHRM members. Approximately 15 door prizes were donated by members and given to lucky guests. Following the awarding of  door prizes, a 50/50 drawing was held.
