We are very excited to unveil the program for the 2012 conference titled Out of the Book and Into the Streets! The IPGA Conference Program Committee wanted to create the best IPGA conference ever and I think we have succeeded! This year's conference features three tracks: The Introductory Basics, Advanced Topics which will include many practitioner voices, and a Hot Topics track that addresses board topics not specific to Policy Governance. New this year is a Social Track which includes walking tours and museum tours for spouses and guests and a dinner cruise for all attendees on Friday night. You won't want to miss this experience on the Detroit River which flows between the US and Canada!
We listened to your feedback from past years and incorporated several improvements into this year's event. Because you told us that the most value was found in the concurrent sessions that you choose, we have minimized the General Session time and expanded the concurrent sessions offerings. You can choose six of 33 concurrent sessions available and design the conference experience you desire.
Networking time has always received rave reviews. No other conference offers high level governance chatter that you experience at an IPGA conference. This year, John and Miriam Carver will be joining us. The conference is a great time to meet and chat with the Carvers.
As an added bonus, Miriam has agreed to hold an interactive discussion with the large group focused on Ownership and Ends distinctions just prior to our closing lunch.
Our pre-conference day on Thursday, June 21 has several improvements as well. In addition to our traditional full day Policy Governance Introductory Session, we are offering three forums for networking by 'category'. We will hold an Officers' Forum, a CEO and Staff Forum, and a Board Administrators' Forum. These sessions are for heart to heart discussion with people who are facing similar challenges because of the role they play. Come and share your perspective in what I am sure will be provocative sessions.
As you review the program, we hope that you will catch the excitement for this conference and plan to join us June 21-23 in Detroit, Michigan...
See you in the D!!!
