THE ECONOMY
Conflicting Theories, Collaborating Solutions...Connecting the Dots

Welcome to the opening session of the 2010 Leadership America Program. Leadership America is based on the premise that a knowledgeable leader is a competent leader. This session uses the economic issues as a platform and Dallas as a learning laboratory for acquiring the knowledge and honing the skills necessary to be an effective leader in an interconnected world.

The agenda features conversations with bankers, economists and leaders in the corporate and business community discussing the various facets of the ongoing economic uncertainties.

The session also features an interactive, leadership workshop enabling the participants to master the art of relationship building, harness the power of collaboration, and bring their passions, brains, and backgrounds to the tables where critical issues get decided.
