This Year's ProgramDetailed final agenda of the program (pdf) This Year's FacultyGary Winters Diana C. Mendes, AICP Janet Ruggiero, FAICP Kudos for the ProgramHere is what past MI participants said about the program: "This was a great opportunity to glean ideas from professionals. It helped make up for the mentoring I didn't otherwise get as a new manager." "I loved that there was no PowerPoint — it was all discussion, exercises, and talking. The 'presenting' was kept to small digestible guides and stories and the attendees were encouraged to teach each other." "It gave me the management tools to successfully deal with a number of challenging situations — more tools for my 'toolbox.'" "The teamwork of two planners and a workplace organizational professional facilitated great discussion." "Of the entire 5 days of the 2009 APA National Conference that I attended, this session was, by far the most valuable to me. The pre-survey was the key to fine-tuning the topics to the needs of this group of attendees. The all-day format was essential for discussion to occur, differentiating this experience from the lecture-style management classes available elsewhere. Congratulations on a job well done and my thanks to the three instructors for an excellent session!"
