The presenter, Sharon Jordan-Evans is an organizational consultant and executive coach with over fifteen years of experience working with teams and coaching senior executives as they strive to improve morale, commitment, productivity and the bottom line during times of constant, rapid change. This forum will focus on employee retention strategies and practical, hands-on tips that leaders can put to use immediately. Attendees will leave with concrete "to-do's" and a renewed energy and optimism about the role that leaders at all levels can play in the race for talent.

Senior Executives Service members can attend the program by registering by February 14, 2003. However, seating is limited and registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
