NBC PROFILE - SUMMER 2005
DOIU Celebrates Speakers Forums |
 |
Executive Forums
For six years Executive Forums have explored topics ranging from the mysterious dynamics of fire, dispute resolution, ecology, nature-versus-nurture, conservation and collaboration. The forum speakers are renowned authors, academics, and business leaders. Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Rhodes, author of John James Audubon: The Making of an American was the first speaker at the first event of the sixth year of the Executive Forums. One forum attendee described the best part of the event as, "The opportunity to listen to remarks from such an extraordinary and respected individual." The Executive Forms were created by Assistant Secretary Lynn Scarlett and managed by the Department of the Interior University in collaboration with bureau partners and in partnership with Politics and Prose Bookstore. The forums target audience is for Senior Executives and employees at the GS-14 and GS-15 levels. The Executive Forums provide opportunities for employees to participate in a four hour round table session with Interior's top leaders. Executives share lessons learned and discuss how new ideas apply to Interior situations. Remaining Executive Forums for 2005 include:
