SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

07:30-08:10 Registration & Continental Breakfast

08:10-08:15 Welcoming Remarks: Teema Roberts, Conference Chair

08:15–09:05 Creating a Wow Culture with a Multi-generational Workforce!

Amy Shoemaker, PHR, EMBA, Certified Master Coach; Director, People Growth Strategies,

Kennedy & Coe, LLC

Frustrated that your new hires aren’t willing to “pay their dues” before expecting that promotion?

Curious why your managers just want to work quietly and not be bothered with a lot of questions?

Unclear why your college graduates and tenured employees don’t respect one another?

Wondering what’s up with flex schedules, ipods at work, remote workers? Why can’t people just work 8 am – 5

pm, Monday through Friday in a civilized manner?

If these questions have puzzled, frustrated, or confused you, help is on the way! This interactive workshop will not

only answer these questions, we’ll provide real-life solutions to these situations that you can implement once you

return to work!

Most companies have either three or four generations in their workforce today. As the Traditionalists delayed their

retirement after the stock market crash of 2008 and Baby Boomers are working and living longer, we’ll see more

generations in the workforce than any other time in business. This diversity can be a real asset for our businesses, if

we know how to leverage the strengths that each generation brings to our workplace.

Unleash the potential of your multi-generational workforce and create a Wow Culture in your company!

09:05–09:55 FASB to FRF for SMEs: Deciding what’s Best for the Privately-Held Company

Lori A. Wenrich, CPA, Manager, Ernst & Young Financial reporting options for privately-held companies suddenly abound. What is a company to do? This session

provides insights into what the options are and the steps a company should take in deciding which the most effective

methodology is for the stakeholders.

09:55-10:10 Break

10:10-11:10 Technology Update for Business & Industry

Randolph P. Johnston, MSC, MCP, President, Network Management Group, Inc.

What if you could sit down for half a day and learn everything you needed to know to converse with your IT

professionals over the future of your company’s technology? What emerging technology should you consider

investing? Is your company’s technology an advantage, or a deficit, to your future growth? This session is a

business friendly discussion of where technology is today and where it is going. Topics will include the latest updates

for your data center from Microsoft and others, as well as new smart devices, such as phones and tablets to enhance

your workforce. We will discuss the latest technology to include workstations, laptops, monitors, and much more.
