NATIONAL FORUM FOR BLACK PUBLIC ADMINISTRATORS METRO ATLANTA CHAPTER
National Forum For Black Public Administrators
Metro Atlanta ChapterGree$ngs
On behalf of the Na$onal Forum for Black Public Administrators – Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter (NFBPA-‐MAC) and our Board of Directors, we are excited to launch the inaugural session of the Professional Development Ins$tute (PDI).
The PDI embodies NFBPA’s mission and commitment to strengthen the posi$on of Blacks within the field of public administra$on; to increase the number appointed to execu$ve posi$ons in public service organiza$ons; and, to groom and prepare younger, aspiring administrators for senior public management posts in the years ahead.
In keeping with that vision, the PDI is designed to equip emerging leaders with the requisite skills, coaching and technical assistance to more effec$vely work in today’s public organiza$ons. The seminars that have been scheduled for 2011-‐2012 offer a combina$on of both soU-‐ and hard skills training workshops. The seminars will give you just a glimpse of what can be expected when the local chapter hosts our na$onal conference in 2013.
If you have any ques$ons or need more informa$on about reserving a block of registra$ons for your employees or sponsorship, please contact our PDI Chair by email at [email protected].
Marshall J. Taggart Jr. Catherine Foster-Rowell President PDI Chair

Bond Financing Date: Thursday, June 9, 2011Presenter: Edmund J. Wall, Managing Director, Raymond James & Associates, Inc.LocaQon: Georgia InternaQonal ConvenQon Center – Swiss Room
Bonds are generally used to finance the cost of building capital facili$es such as roads, fire sta$ons, flood protec$on, and schools. Bond financing is when government agencies borrow a specific amount of money which then must repay over $me. The bonds are repaid, with interest, using revenues from taxes or some$mes from fees and charges. Ci$es, coun$es or states may also issue debt, called municipal bonds, to finance local improvements or other specific areas of their budget. Municipal bonds have a higher yield than treasuries and are also oUen tax exempt which makes them par$cularly a]rac$ve to investors and a great tool to finance public projects.
Managing Conflict Dealing with Difficult People in the WorkplaceDate: Saturday, June 11, 2011Presenter: Clara Axam CEO, ClarificaQon and MediaQon, Inc.LocaQon: Georgia InternaQonal ConvenQon Center – Italian Room
In this fast-‐paced environment, few workplaces are free of conflict. In fact, everyone knows of difficult people in the workplace, but few of us know how to deal with them effec$vely. Difficult people can sabotage almost any situa$on, and can wreak havoc on a workplace. But oUen the real trouble arises when we overreact to these people. Par$cipants will learn methods to iden$fy one’s own difficult
behaviors or reac$ons. They will also learn how to iden$fy personali$es and traits that make people difficult. In addi$on, they will be introduced to techniques to effec$vely cope with difficult people. Some of the expected learning outcomes would be gaining a new perspec$ve on conflict; recognizing how differences can influence communica$on and percep$on; understanding how to find out what people really want when in conflict; learning how to prepare for addressing conflict; prac$cing skills to help you communicate be]er when in conflict.

Organiza$ons today, large or small, public or private, profit or not-‐for-‐profit, are faced with the daun$ng task of managing a “mul$-‐genera$onal” pool of employees.
